The measures include a full ban on gas imports from the Nord Stream pipelines, a reduced oil price cap, and stricter controls on tech exports used in military drones. Sanctions also target Chinese banks aiding in sanctions evasion and restrict Russian banks' access to global funding.
Additionally, 105 vessels linked to Russia’s shadow fleet have been blacklisted, and for the first time, the EU is sanctioning a foreign flag registry and India's largest oil refinery, owned by Rosneft.
