Amendments to Ukraine Sanctions Regime Take Effect

Amendments to the Ukrainian government's sanctions legislation came into effect July 29, according to an unofficial translation. Under the alterations, the government will establish a register of sanctioned individuals and entities that includes a list of the reasons for their addition and the type of sanctions to which they are subject. The amendments also extend the deadlines for the High Anti-Corruption Court to consider appeals of asset freezes, giving the court up to 30 days after receiving the claim to consider the appeals.
