Monaco adds 37 targets under Ukraine and Russia sanctions

MONACO, September 28, 2026 — Monaco added 37 people and entities to its asset-freeze lists, with most of the new entries focused on the transfer, assimilation or militarized education of Ukrainian children from occupied territories.

Minister of State Decision No. 2026-111 amended the sanctions annex maintained under Monaco’s 2021 framework for freezing funds and economic resources. The additions comprise 20 individuals and 17 entities across two sanctions regimes.

Twenty-seven entries — 10 individuals and 17 entities — fall under the EU’s Ukraine territorial-integrity regime. Monaco cited roles in transferring Ukrainian children, exposing them to pro-Russian narratives or integrating them into Russian educational and cultural structures.

The Preobrazhensky Defense and Sports Centre, for example, was listed over programs in which Ukrainian children received weapons training, tactical exercises and airborne instruction. The Songdowon International Children’s Camp in North Korea was cited for hosting children transferred from occupied Ukrainian territories and exposing them to pro-Russian messaging and elements of militarized training.

The other 10 additions are Russian judges, prosecutors and officials listed under the EU’s Russia repression regime. Their stated grounds concern court cases and proceedings against the Yabloko party or its members, including actions that restricted election participation or imposed prison sentences.

The new names, aliases and identifying details may require updates to sanctions-screening data.
