The Financial Reporting Authority in June issued new Reporting Requirements under the Russia Sanctions Regime.

The Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 were made under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 and provide for the imposition of financial sanctions, including asset freezes and other financial and investment restrictions, on persons who are or have been involved in destabilising Ukraine or undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty or independence of Ukraine; or obtaining a benefit from or supporting the Government of Russia.

On 14 June 2024 the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office updated the UK Sanctions List on GOV.UK. This list provides details of those designated under regulations made under the Sanctions Act. A link to the UK Sanctions List can be found here.
