1a. If natural persons listed in Annex I die during the period of application of the restrictive measures, the Council may retain the names of the deceased persons on that list if their delisting would pose a risk of undermining the objectives of Union restrictive measures because of a likelihood that the assets concerned would otherwise be used to finance Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine or other actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine.
