EU Council announces new measures in Russia, Iran, and Sudan
On 29 January 2026, the EU Council announced new measures on individuals and entities in Russia, Iran, and Sudan. In Russia, the new measures are in light of Russia’s continued hybrid activities, in particular Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI) against the EU and its member states and partners. In Iran, the restrictive measures are related to serious human rights violations in Iran and Iran’s continued military support to Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. And in Sudan, seven individuals were sanctioned in view of the continued grave situation in Sudan, the dramatic escalation of violence causing irreparable costs to human life in Darfur and throughout the country, as well as violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law.
EU: Strong eastern regions for a safe Europe
The European Commission has set out a plan to make the EU’s regions bordering Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine more secure, resilient, and attractive places to live and work. Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine has severely affected people and communities in these areas. From rising security threats and economic disruption to strain on local services and demographic decline. Several EU countries have been particularly affected: Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria. To ensure progress, the Commission will launch an annual political dialogue on the impact of EU’s actions on the resilience and development of eastern regions. The first event will take place on 26 February 2026, when financial institutions will sign a declaration on the EastInvest Facility. Strengthening the prosperity and resilience of the eastern border regions is not only an expression of solidarity, but also a strategic investment in Europe's security, competitiveness, and long-term stability.
