We will explore the history of the region and how the Russian business model means that your business transactions can be caught by sanctions, maybe when you least expect it.

Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 and since then, there have been sanctions imposed and numerous amendments to these sanctions.

This all proves to be a muddle if you have an opportunity to supply your product to an oil field just off Japan.

Where do you start? It’s all very complicated; is it best not to bother?

We’ll look at what the sanctions actually cover as of now in the EU and consider the steps you need to take in some practical examples.

1. Shipments to Sakhalin, Okhotsk Sea in support of oil exploration

2. Civil aero engine for air ambulance in Russia

3. Titanium supplies from Russia

4. Airbus / Boeing situation with titanium

5. ‘Beards’ who cover for Russian entities

6. Mediterranean cruise ships

7. Items needed to prevent an humanitarian or ecological disaster

We’ll then reconsider where US sanctions may also have an impact and see if the conclusion is the same.

Bottom line is:

1. Can I be a Party to this transaction or not?

2. If so, will I get paid?

3. If not, will the other Parties sue me?
