International sanctions have been imposed during the Russo-Ukrainian War by a large number of countries[which?] against Russia and Crimea following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which began in late February 2014. Belarus has also been sanctioned for its cooperation with and assistance to Russian armed forces.[1] The sanctions were imposed by the United States, the European Union (EU) and other countries and international organisations against individuals, businesses and officials from Russia and Ukraine.[2] Russia responded with sanctions against several countries, including a total ban on food imports from Australia, Canada, Norway, Japan, the United States and the EU.

Crimean region without the authorization of the Government of Ukraine" and whose actions were found,
inter alia, to "undermine democratic processes and institutions in Ukraine".
