The OverRuled: Russia Trade Controls Resource Center has been updated with the following actions:
- 15 Apr 2024 (OFAC):
OFAC designated 12 entities and 10 individuals, under E.O. 14038, in an action targeting President Alyaksandr Lukashenka's regime for its continuing support for Russia's war against Ukraine and the financial benefit it derives from such support. The entities and individuals designated include six revenue-generating state-owned enterprises, one entity and five individuals involved in facilitating transactions for a U.S.-designated major Belarusian defense sector enterprise, and five entities and five individuals involved in a global arms network doing business with a U.S.-designated Belarusian defense firm. These designations coincide with a separate sanctions action against Belarus by the Government of Canada.
Concurrent with today's action, the U.S. Department of Justice unsealed charges against two of the now-designated individuals for conspiring to unlawfully export weapons and ammunition from the United States to Sudan through one of the now-designated entities, an Iraq-based arms company.
