European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on June 9, 2026, that the EU’s 21st sanctions package would expand pressure on Russia’s evasion networks. The proposal includes a possible full third-country ban on crypto-asset services linked to sanctions circumvention.
The measure affects countries hosting platforms that the EU says help Russia bypass restrictions. Rather than targeting only individual services, the proposal would give Brussels a broader tool against crypto infrastructure used to support evasion, making platform jurisdiction a central enforcement issue.
The next point to watch is whether EU member states approve the package and how the crypto-service ban is defined in final legal text. For now, the proposal marks an escalation in sanctions design, not a completed enforcement action.
