How Warconomy uses this source

Official European Commission reporting on the 20th sanctions package (adopted 23 April 2026). As stated on the page, the package adds 60 entities providing direct or indirect support to Russia's military-industrial complex or engaged in sanctions circumvention (32 in Russia, 28 in third countries), and the EU activated its anti-circumvention tool against the Kyrgyz Republic for the first time. A source-reported count as of a stated package, manually transcribed as a static fixture; not real-time and not a cumulative total. An economic-impact / enforcement indicator, not legal or compliance advice.
