How are public procurement contracts affected by the EU’s decision on sanctions against Russia?

During the spring of 2022, the EU decided on a series of sanctions against Russia in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. On 8th of April 2022, the EU decided on a fifth package of sanctions which includes, among other things, further restrictions on trade with Russia. One element of this is the extension of the list of controlled items which might contribute to Russia’s military and technological enhancements or the development of its defence and security sector, and restrictions have been imposed regarding goods for import and export, transactions, and financing and financial assistance, among others. In the context of these sanctions, the Regulation also introduces a new article that addresses public procurement contracts.
