On 3 December 2025, the European Commission (Commission) listed Russia as a high-risk country with strategic deficiencies in its anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing frameworks.

Earlier this year, the Commission adopted Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/1393 which committed the Commission to concluding, by the end of 2025, a review of third countries not listed by the Financial Action Task Force, but whose membership is suspended. The aim is to assess the need for amending the EU list of high-risk third countries based on this review.

The Commission states that the delegated regulation will enter into force after scrutiny and non-objection of the European Parliament and the Council within a period of one month. This can be prolonged for another month. The Commission will monitor the progress of all listed countries and will continue to follow relevant developments.
