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 21 September 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.
The Export Support Service provides front line Russia sanctions support to all businesses. Contact the service for any questions about the impact of these sanctions on UK businesses operating in any sector, or business operations in Ukraine or Russia.
Further statutory guidance will be published when the relevant legislation is laid.
The session of 21 September 2022 follows on from the webinar held on 17 March 2022.
