The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) has announced a new round of sanctions targeting Russia, effective 16 June 2026. These measures were implemented under the authority of the Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019.

The latest designations include a specific set of entities and individuals identified by the UK government. These actions are part of the ongoing regulatory framework used to apply economic and targeted restrictions against Russian interests.

The announcement serves as an official update to the consolidated list of sanctioned parties. This update ensures that the current legal restrictions accurately reflect the most recent additions to the UK’s enforcement actions under the 2019 regulations.
