EU aims to sanction 90 banks, 215 individuals under new package — Reuters
The European Commission has proposed a 21st sanctions package targeting 215 Russian individuals and 94 legal entities, including 90 banks. The proposal faces serious disagreements among EU member states, while some specific sanctions have already been imposed on figures like Vladimir Tabak and Arkady Dvorkovich.
The European Commission has proposed a new sanctions package that would impose restrictive measures on 215 Russian individuals and 94 legal entities, including 90 banks, as reported by TASS citing a Reuters report. The draft was presented to the 27 EU ambassadors on July 22. However, the approval process is complicated by serious disagreements among member states, according to the same sources. A previous deadline of July 15 for approving the 21st package has passed without final agreement, leaving the measures in limbo.
Coverage Comparison
TASS, citing Reuters, reports that the European Commission's latest draft includes broad restrictions against Russian individuals and entities. The same source indicates that the approval of these measures is hindered by serious disagreements within the EU. While the overall package remains under negotiation, some sanctions have already been implemented as part of the 21st restrictions package, according to a separate TASS report.
Key Claims
The European Union aims to include restrictive measures against 215 Russian individuals and 94 legal entities, including 90 banks, in its 21st sanctions package, as reported by TASS citing Reuters.
The approval of these restrictions is complicated by serious disagreements among EU member states, according to the same sources.
The European Commission previously set July 15 as the deadline for approving the 21st package, but the measures remain unresolved.
The EU has already imposed sanctions on specific individuals and entities, including Director General of ANO Dialog Vladimir Tabak, Public Chamber member Maxim Grigoriev, investment corporation Sistema, and FIDE President Arkady Dvorkovich.
Vladimir Tabak was sanctioned for his involvement with so-called pro-Kremlin organizations and the RRN platform, which the EU says disseminates pro-Russian and anti-Ukrainian content, according to TASS.
Maxim Grigoriev was targeted for heading a so-called fictitious tribunal and regularly voicing Russian state narratives.
Sistema was added as a legal entity providing significant income to the Russian government.
Arkady Dvorkovich was sanctioned for supporting Crimea's and new regions' incorporation into Russia, with the EU alleging FIDE tournaments in these territories undermine Ukraine's territorial integrity.
The EU also added gold miners and banks, including DOM.RF and Ak Bars, to the list of sanctioned entities.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
