The Government has introduced a range of sanctions aimed at encouraging Russia to cease actions destabilising Ukraine or undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty or independence of Ukraine.

Companies must not breach these sanctions. Where activity is not covered by these sanctions, workers may be subject to disciplinary action if they are failing to carry out the lawful requirements of their job, but this will be a matter for their employer.
