This regulation amends Annex I of the existing Belarus sanctions regulation (EC) No 765/2006. It updates the reasons for listing and identifying information for 54 natural persons and seven legal persons already subject to asset freezes and travel bans. The amendments reflect ongoing support for the Lukashenka regime, involvement in the repression of 2020 protests, unresolved 1999-2000 disappearances, and new activities supporting Russia's war against Ukraine, such as grain exports from occupied Mariupol. The sanctions are renewed until 28 February 2027. The changes particularly target former and current security officials, military personnel, and businessmen involved in military technology or occupied territories.
