The database of legal entities, on which sanctions have been imposed in connection with the Russian aggression against Ukraine

The database contains legal entities subject to sanctions of:

  • Ukraine,
  • the USA,
  • the EU,
  • Great Britain,
  • and Canada

The database is constantly updated.

Updating the database is not a mechanical process of transferring information from sanctions lists. We try to accurately identify legal entities. When necessary and possible, we add important information on legal entity addresses, registration and tax data, linked entities, etc.

Our database is not only a list of currently listed companies. It contains the entire history of decisions on the imposition (or lifting) of sanctions on each entity, as well as changes in their names, legal status, etc. Reorganization and liquidation of legal entities, being in a state of bankruptcy, presence or absence of an official legal successor or managing organization - we try to track all of these in a timely manner.

Ukraine’s Sanctions

The database includes all legal entities listed in Decrees of the President of Ukraine on sanctions against legal entities since September 2015.

US Sanctions

The database contains all legal entities from the SDN, SSI, CAPTA lists of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the US Treasury Department under sanctions programs related to Russian aggression against Ukraine:

  • UKRAINE-EO13660 (Executive Order 13660)
  • UKRAINE-EO13661 (Executive Order 13661)
  • UKRAINE-EO13662 (Executive Order 13662)
  • UKRAINE-EO13685 (Executive Order 13685)

  • BELARUS-EO14038 (Executive Order 14038)

However, the range of sanctioned legal entities in the database is not limited to only "Russian-Ukrainian" programs. Over time, more and more companies that are included in other US sanctions programs prove to be in one way or another connected with Russian aggression against Ukraine. Therefore, legal entities from other OFAC programs can also be seen in the database.

Separately, the database identifies legal entities subject to US export controls. These are enterprises included in the Entity List (EL) and Military End User List (MEU List) of the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the US Department of Commerce.
