Key facts
Source:UK OFSI (UK HM Treasury, Open Government Licence v3.0)
The Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI) has issued a notice regarding General Licence INT/2025/8031092. This licence was originally established on November 27, 2025, under the authority of the Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019.
The primary purpose of the licence is to permit the ongoing conduct of business activities involving Lukoil International Entities. This provision allows for certain-level operations to continue despite the broader sanctions framework in place.
An amendment to the licence was implemented on June 19, 2026. This update specifically removed the restriction previously outlined in paragraph 4.2 of the document.
Despite the recent changes to the licence terms, the amendment does not authorize the transfer of funds back to Lukoil PJSC. Users are advised to consult the full terms and conditions of the General Licence for the most current regulatory requirements.
