(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, JULY 31 - The EU Council has added six entities to the 'black list' of those that were sanctioned for actions that compromise or threaten Ukraine's territorial integrity. The measures consist of asset-freezing orders. The six entities were added to the blacklist, due to their participation in the construction of the Kerch bridge, which links Russia with the Crimean peninsula. According to the EU Council, in fact, the six entities have supported the consolidation of Russia's control of the Crimean peninsula, illegally annexed. Today's decision brings to 44 the total number of entities added to the list, which already includes 155 people. The other measures taken by the EU in order to respond to Ukrainian crisis are: economic sanctions concerning specific sectors of the Russian economy, in force until January 31, 2019; and restrictive measures in response to the illegal annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol, which will remain in force until June 23, 2019.
