Designations

Reason for listing

Per UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) (listed ):

UKSL RUS0182 — Measures: Asset freeze, Trust Services Sanctions, Director Disqualification Sanction — The so called ‘Lugansk People's Republic’ was established on 27 April 2014. Responsible for organising the illegal referendum on May 11 2014, and made a declaration of independence on May 12 2014. On 22 May 2014, the so called ‘People's Republics’ of Donetsk and Lugansk created the so called ‘Federal State of Novorossiya’. The so called “Lugansk People’s Republic” took part in ‘elections’ on 11 November 2018. Holding any kind of elections without Ukraine’s consent is a clear violation of the country’s sovereignty. This is in breach of Ukrainian constitutional law, and, as a consequence, of international law, thus undermining the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine. It is also involved in the recruitment to the separatist ‘Army of Southeast’ and other illegal armed separatist groups, thus undermining the stability or security of Ukraine. The trust services sanctions were imposed on 21/03/2023. (official source)

About these sources

The UK Sanctions List (UKSL), published by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office — since 28 January 2026 the single, current source for all UK sanctions designations (financial, immigration, trade and transport measures), superseding the older OFSI Consolidated List.

What a match means: A match is a current, binding UK sanctions designation — treat as a direct compliance hit and escalate immediately.

The UK's former OFSI Consolidated List of Financial Sanctions Targets, maintained by HM Treasury. OFSI closed this list on 28 January 2026 — current UK sanctions designations now publish only to the FCDO UK Sanctions List (also in this catalog) — and it is retained here as a historical source.

What a match means: A match reflects a UK financial-sanctions designation recorded before the 28 Jan 2026 cutover; check whether the same party also appears on the current UK Sanctions List, and treat either appearance as a genuine UK sanctions hit, not a stale false positive.
