EU Implements New Sanctions Against Russia, Moldova, and Libya
On June 15, 2026, the EU adopted new sanctions targeting Russia, Moldova, and Libya, amending existing regulations. The measures include designations of individuals and entities involved in destabilizing activities and a derogation for the semiconductor sector to ease transitions from sanctioned suppliers.

The European Union introduced new restrictive measures on June 15, 2026, including designations of 9 individuals and 45 entities linked to Russia's military-industrial complex and related sectors. Key provisions include a derogation allowing EU semiconductor operators to transition from Yangzhou Yangjie Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. by March 16, 2027, to mitigate supply chain disruptions.
Further sanctions added 15 individuals and one entity to the asset freeze list under Regulation (EU) 2024/1485, including the holding company of NtechLab. Additionally, six individuals were added to the sanctions list concerning Moldova. Companies are advised to assess contractual exposure to sanctioned entities, prepare diversification plans, and ensure compliance with updated due diligence and operational procedures to minimize non-compliance risks.
