The European Union (EU) on Thursday decided to extend restrictive measures against 146 people and 37 companies related to the Ukraine crisis by six months.

According to a press release from the Council of the EU, the decision was made in view of the "continuing undermining or threatening of the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine."

The measures, which involve freezing assets and imposing travel bans, have been extended until Sept. 15, 2016. Three deceased people were removed from the list of targets subject to the restrictive measures.

The measures had been introduced in March 2014 and were last extended in September 2015.
