UK Updates Russia Sanctions List: 11 New Designations, 9 New Ship Specifications and One Variation

Thursday, November 12, 2026 · World · GSM News

The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) updated the UK Sanctions List at 1:38pm London time on November 12, adding 11 new designations and 9 new specifications and making one variation under the Russia sanctions regime. This report is filed as a chronicle for the UK station.

GOV.UK issued two update notices for the change the same day, one for the UK Sanctions List page and one for the Russia designations and sanctions notices page. Both record the same changes at the same update time and refer to a single list update. The list page explains that the list sets out which people, entities and ships are designated or specified under regulations made under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018, and why.

According to GOV.UK, the UK Sanctions List has been the only source for all UK sanctions designations since January 28, 2026, when the Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI) consolidated list of asset freeze targets closed.

The update is the second change to the list this week. On November 10 the FCDO made three variations, and the entities and individuals varied remained subject to sanctions including an asset freeze. In an earlier round on October 8, the list added 26 designations and 12 specifications and made two variations, showing that the list is updated on a rolling basis.

The specific persons, entities and ships covered by the 11 new designations and 9 new specifications are those set out in the UK Sanctions List and the Russia sanctions notices published on GOV.UK.
