EU Adds Swiss-Cameroonian Influencer to Russia Sanctions List

  • Posted by: Pambos Kyriacou

The Council of the European Union has adopted Council Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1278, introducing amendments to the EU sanctions regime targeting Russia’s destabilizing activities.

Specifically, Nathalie Yamb, a Swiss-Cameroonian national, has been added to the list of designated individuals. According to the annex of the regulation, Yamb is identified as a prominent pro-Russian social media figure who has consistently disseminated narratives aligned with Moscow and actively promotes anti-Western rhetoric.

Furthermore, Yamb is linked to AFRIC, an organization associated with Russian private military companies. She is accused of engaging in information manipulation to advance the strategic interests of the Kremlin.
