This EU regulation adds nine Russian military officers to the sanctions list under Regulation 269/2014. The individuals are senior and mid-level commanders from Russian airborne, tank, and special forces units who participated in the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Most are directly linked to war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Bucha, including executions, torture, looting, and the killing of civilians. The listed persons include Colonel General Aleksandr Chayko, commanders of the 76th Guards Air Assault Division and its regiments, and other officers involved in operations in Kyiv Oblast. All are subject to asset freeze and travel ban within the EU. The measure was adopted due to Russia's continued aggression and deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure.
