Moreover, this action undermines the Union's non-recognition policy of the illegal annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol.\n(5)\nIn view of the above, additional persons, entities and bodies should be added to the list of persons, entities and bodies subject to restrictive measures as set out in the Annex to Decision 2014/145/CFSP.\n(6)\nThe Annex to Decision 2014/145/CFSP should be amended accordingly,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
