In continuation of the UK’s sanctions restrictions against Russia, on 15 October 2025, the UK imposed further sanctions on various entities and vessels.

The headline designations include:

• PJSC Rosneft Oil Company
• Nayara Energy Limited (which was already subject to EU asset freeze restrictions)
• Alghaf Marine DMCC
• PJSC Lukoil

In some regards, these designations mirror the intent of the EU (noting their upcoming 19th sanctions package is intended to impose a full transaction ban on Russian oil majors), signaling joint efforts on the sanctions efforts against Russia between the UK and EU in recent months.
