U.S. Sanctions on Russia Related to the Ukraine Conflict
Since 2014, the United States has imposed sanctions on
over 600 individuals, entities, and vessels in response to
Russia's invasion and annexation of Ukraine's Crimea
region and Russia's subsequent support of separatists in
eastern Ukraine. President Barack Obama, in initiating
economic sanctions on Russia, declared that Russia's
activities in Ukraine threaten the peace, security, stability,
sovereignty, and territorial integrity of its neighbor and
constitute a threat to U.S. national security. The United
States, in coordination with the European Union and others,
promised to impose increasing costs on Russia until it
abides by its international obligations and returns its
military forces to their original bases and respects Ukraine's
sovereignty and territorial integrity. The Department of the
Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)
continues to investigate transactions and designate
individuals and entities, most recently in January 2018.
