The comprehensive package aims at battling circumvention of the sanctions and addresses critical sectors supporting Russia's aggression: energy, finance, military-industrial complex, and diplomatic activities.

The 19th package consists of Council Regulation (EU) 2025/2033 amending Regulation (EU) 833/2014, and Council Regulation (EU) 2025/2037 and Council Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2035 which amend Regulation (EU) 269/2014. The amending regulations came into force on 23 October 2025 following their publication in the Official Journal.
