The European Union has adopted 21 sanctions packages covering 3,000 individuals and entities.

Omissions

• The European Commission states the figure as 'close to 3,000' rather than exactly 3,000; the claim rounds it up to a round number, which is within normal rounding tolerance.
• The 21 packages and the ~3,000 listings refer specifically to the EU's Russia sanctions regime (in view of Russia's aggression against Ukraine); separate Belarus packages and other geographic sanctions regimes exist but are not included in this count.
