Export Implications of the Conflict in Ukraine

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has spurred several new regulatory actions on the global trade front. Governments, including the United States and the United Kingdom, have imposed new sanctions programs and tightened export restrictions against individuals, companies, and organizations with ties to Russia and Belarus. The challenges of operating in Russia and Belarus currently are unprecedented and require time to assess the long-term implications.
