The Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 came fully into force on 31 December 2020. They are intended to ensure that certain sanctions relating to Russia continue to operate effectively.
You should also review the following regulations to find out any changes made to the Regulations:
This sanctions regime is aimed at encouraging Russia to cease actions destabilising Ukraine or undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty or independence of Ukraine.
Those persons who are designated under this regime are included on the UK sanctions list.
New designations of individuals and Russian entities have been announced. Further sanctions may be imposed in response to events.
On 17 March 2022, the UK government held a webinar briefing on UK sanctions relating to Russia. A recording of this webinar is available for a short time.
For any questions about the impact of these sanctions on UK businesses operating in any sector, or business operations in Ukraine or Russia, contact the Export Support Service who are providing a front line Russia sanctions support service to all businesses.
Further statutory guidance will be published when the relevant legislation is laid.
