Source details
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.

Facts citing this source
With its 20th sanctions package (23 April 2026) the EU activated its anti-circumvention tool against a third country for the first time, restricting exports of certain machine tools and telecommunications equipment to the Kyrgyz Republic over re-export risk to Russia.
Of the 60 entities the EU listed in its 20th package for supporting Russia's military-industrial complex or circumvention, 28 are established in third countries (including China, the UAE and Türkiye) — illustrating the third-country routing channel.
