    The United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union Impose Additional Sanctions Responding to Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine

    As the Russian invasion of Ukraine approaches the one-month mark, the United States, United Kingdom, and the European Union have continued to impose significant additional economic sanctions and trade controls targeting Russia. Among other noteworthy developments, the importation of certain Russian-origin goods, such as seafood, alcoholic beverages and non-industrial diamonds, has been stopped, and the exportation of products and technology, including luxury goods and aerospace technology, to Russia also has been restricted. In addition, measures to revoke Russia’s and Belarus’ Most Favored Nation status have advanced. Russian oligarchs have continued to be aggressively targeted.
