Brussels Lists the Brokers, Payment Agents and Tanker Managers Keeping Russia Supplied
On 15 October 2026 the Council of the European Union added three individuals and nine entities to its Russia sanctions list for helping Moscow get round EU restrictions. The Russian side of the network is a St Petersburg freight firm running parallel imports, a Moscow customs broker selling "turnkey procurement" around trade bans, and a payment agent in the already listed PV Bridge network, each with its director or owner. Two Turkish procurement companies in Istanbul and Ankara are also named. The oil side is HURUS TRADE FZE of Dubai, which supplies Russian crude to India, and three shadow fleet tanker managers and owners in Dubai, Mumbai and the Seychelles. All twelve face an asset freeze and a ban on making funds available, and the individuals cannot enter the EU. The EU data file does not yet show the entries. Separately, OFAC issued Venezuela General License 60A on 16 October, authorising earthquake relief transactions to 21 April 2027.

The Circumvention Trade, Named Firm by Firm
Council Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/2333 and Decision (CFSP) 2026/2332, published in the Official Journal on 15 October 2026, add 12 parties to Annex I of Regulation (EU) No 269/2014. Nine are listed for significantly frustrating the EU's trade sanctions under Regulation 833/2014: Movers Group LLC of St Petersburg and its General Director Dmitry Chudovsky, for parallel imports; the Moscow customs broker DT Inier LLC, which advertises "turnkey procurement" around trade restrictions, and its majority shareholder Ivanna Savchuk; United Stream LLC, a payment agent in the already listed PV Bridge network, and its founder Svetlana Gumenyuk; and two Turkish firms, Begler Tekstil of Istanbul and Medse Group of Ankara.
The other four sit in the oil trade. HURUS TRADE FZE of Dubai supplies Russian crude to India, including to the EU-listed Nayara Energy, and is linked to the listed Azerbaijani traders Tahir Garayev and Etibar Eyyub. DIS Logistics DMCC of Dubai, Vigor Marine Services LLP of Mumbai and Shiva Shipping Ltd of the Seychelles manage or own shadow fleet tankers that switch off AIS, transfer cargo at sea or sail without adequate insurance. All 12 face an EU asset freeze and a ban on making funds available; the three individuals are also banned from entering the EU.
