Why this score EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and former Estonian prime minister; statements are official EU positions issued under institutional accountability, but she is an interested party advocating the sanctions policy she announces.

EU sanctions have already cost Russia dearly, depriving Russia's war machine of over EUR 1 trillion ($1.16 trillion) and for autumn I am putting forward the most far-reaching sanctions listings since the start of the war. Once adopted, they would immediately raise the total number of sanctioned Russian entities by a third.

Adopted on October 12 as the largest listings ever: 1,569 targets. The size was understated: the Council puts the total at close to 4,600 after them, so the list grew by about half, not a third. No count of entities alone was published (Council).
