List of people and organizations sanctioned during the Russo-Ukrainian war
Wikimedia list article
Various sanctions against Russia and its affiliates have been imposed by major economic and political powers in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, including the United States, the member states of the European Union (EU), and other international organizations.
In response, Russia has imposed its own sanctions against other countries, which include a complete ban on food imports from Australia, Canada, Norway, the United States, and the European Union.

Prior to 2022 invasion
The European Union, United States, and Canada imposed an initial round of sanctions on 17 March 2014, and, on 11 April, Albania, Iceland and Montenegro announced that they would be following suit. On 28 April, the US expanded its sanctions to include 17 Russian companies, with Japan, Canada, and Australia, taking similar actions soon thereafter.
The EU also joined the 28 April sanctions and, in addition, instructed the European Investment Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development to suspend the signature of new financing operations in Russia. The EU continued to expand the scope and duration of its sanctions over the following months, agreeing to extend the existing sanctions on 150 individuals and 38 companies for another six months in March 2018. The EU also added five individuals—Natalya Ivanovna Berzruchenko, Inna Nikolayevna Guzeyeva, Aleksandr Yurevich Petukhov, Miroslav Aleksandrovich Pogorelov, and Anastasiya Nikolayevna Karpranova—to their sanctions lists for their involvement with, and organization of, the March 2018 Russia presidential elections in Crimea and Sevastopol that May.
Switzerland, although not an EU member, mirrored the Union's sanctions, a historic deviation from the country's stance of semi-complete political and wartime neutrality, citing a "serious violation of the most fundamental norms of international law within the scope of its political room for manoeuver."
New Zealand imposed "largely symbolic" sanctions in May 2014, and in September 2014, Australia placed Russia, Crimea, and Sevastopol on the Australian autonomous sanctions list in response to the Russian threat to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, while Japan sanctioned Russian military-related technology and five major Russian banks (VTB Bank, Sberbank, Gazprombank, Vnesheconombank, and the Russian Agricultural Bank).
Since first imposing its sanctions in 2014, the US has expanded them several times, including in December 2015 and April 2018.
As of 24 May 2018, Ukraine's sanctions list named more than 1000 individuals and more than 400 entities.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “List of people and organizations sanctioned during the Russo-Ukrainian war”, the useful work is to connect “wikimedia list article” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q15977528. The first chronological checks are 2022, 2014, 2018 and 2015.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
