30In the third place, as regards the objective pursued by Regulation No 833/2014, it is apparent, first, from recital 2 of that regulation that the purpose of that regulation is to apply additional restrictive measures ‘with a view to increasing the costs of Russia’s actions to undermine Ukraine’s territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence and to promoting a peaceful settlement of the crisis’. In addition, according to recital 6 of Decision 2022/578, the Council considered it appropriate, ‘in view of the gravity of the situation, and in response to Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine’, to introduce further restrictive measures, in particular by extending the export ban on euro-denominated banknotes to all official currencies of the Member States.
