The package focuses on energy, banking, crypto assets, military production, and sanctions evasion networks, while also introducing the largest number of individual sanctions listings in four years.

Key measures include: 

1. Major expansion of designated persons and entities: The package adds 218 new sanctions listings (48 individuals and 170 entities), making it the largest round of listings in four years.
2. Increased focus on financial institutions: The EU imposed asset freezes and funding prohibitions on 94 banks and major financial institutions and extended transaction restrictions to 33 additional Russian financial institutions.
3. Crypto-asset risks have become a major enforcement priority: The EU extended restrictions to 14 crypto-service providers and created a mechanism for broader bans on crypto providers that facilitate sanctions evasion.
4. Focus on sanctions circumvention through third countries: The package specifically targets entities and institutions in jurisdictions where authorities believe there is circumvention of sanctions. 
5. Targeted networks: The sanctions package continues targeting networks supporting Russia's military-industrial sector, energy sector and shadow fleet. Many sanctioned entities operate through complex ownership structures and intermediaries.
6. Property and corporate transaction risks: The package significantly expands sanctions on oil traders, refineries, shipping companies, military-industrial firms, logistics service providers.
7. Asset freeze obligations: The substantial increase in designations raises the risk of inadvertent breaches.
