Several European countries have said they will align with new European Union restrictive measures linked to actions that destabilise the Republic of Moldova.

The EU Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2026/1357 on 15 June 2026, according to a statement issued on Wednesday on behalf of the EU by High Representative Kaja Kallas.

Under the decision, six people were added to a list of individuals and organisations set out in an earlier decision, Decision (CFSP) 2023/891.
