Ukrinform reported on 7 October 2026, citing a source, that EU ambassadors had approved what the agency calls the largest-ever sanctions list against Russia, and posted a link to its article under the headline "EU ambassadors approve largest-ever sanctions list against Russia - source". The post itself gives no figures, no breakdown of individuals and entities and no date for a formal adoption, and the linked article body could not be read in full. Other accounts reporting the same ambassadors' decision describe it as near to 1,600 listings, but those descriptions were not read in an original document and are not asserted here. The agency post attributes the report to an unnamed source. No Russian account was available to this report.
