Explanatory note

This note is not part of the regulations but is intended to indicate their general effect.

These regulations, which come into force on 12 September 2025, amend the Russia Sanctions Regulations 2022 (the principal regulations).

All the amendments fulfil the purpose of the principal regulations, which is to give effect to the Russia Sanctions Act 2022 by imposing sanctions in response to Russia’s military actions in relation to Ukraine (and in response to any assistance given to Russia from any other country or person in connection with those actions).

Regulation 4 amends regulation 11 of the principal regulations to clarify the application of the prohibition on dealing with services under that provision.

Regulations 5 and 6 add the names of entities and individuals to Schedule 2 of the principal regulations so that the sanctions regime applies to them. Those entities and individuals are—

actors contributing to Russia’s disinformation and malicious cyber activity targeting Ukraine; and
actors contributing to Russia’s development of chemical weapons through the procurement of sensitive technologies and equipment; and
actors contributing to Russia’s evasion of sanctions through providing alternative payment platforms for sanctioned persons; and
actors from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea that have provided military assistance to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine; and
actors from Iran that have facilitated the production or transfer of military equipment for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Regulation 6 also—

revokes the item relating to Igor Viktorovich Makarov from Schedule 2 of the principal regulations so that they are no longer a sanctioned individual; and
adjusts the names of 2 individuals to whom the sanctions regime already applies.

Regulation 7 amends Schedule 2A of the principal regulations to change the price cap for oil under Harmonised System code 2709 from US$60 per barrel to US$47.60 per barrel.

Regulations 8 and 9 amend Schedules 3 and 4 of the principal regulations to update Harmonised System codes to reflect changes that are a result of the Agreement on Climate Change, Trade and Sustainability done at Lima, Peru, on 15 November 2024.

Regulation 10 adds the International Maritime Organization ship identification numbers of certain ships to Schedule 6 of the principal regulations so that they are restricted ships for the purposes of regulation 8 of the principal regulations. Those ships form part of Russia’s shadow fleet and are involved in the transport of Russian oil.

Issued under the authority of the Legislation Act 2019.
