The EU fully banned EU-based specialized financial messaging services from conducting transactions with XX Russian banks, in addition to the XX previously sanctioned Russian banks already subject to the ban. The European Union lowered the threshold for sanctioning third-country financial, credit, and crypto-asset service providers that are connected to the Russian Central Bank’s System for Transfer of Financial Messages or generally supporting Russian sanctions evasion schemes. The EU banned any transaction with the Russian Direct Investment Fund, its sub-funds and companies, and any companies investing in or owned by the RDIF. The EU also banned the sale, supply, transfer, and export of software management systems and banking and financial sector software to Russia. The EU sanctions target an existing vulnerability within the Russian banking and financial sector, decreasing Russia’s ability to maintain a strong presence in international trade and diversify its economy.
