UK sanctions screening now runs through one authoritative list

GOV.UK says the UK Sanctions List was updated on 26 May 2026 with 18 new Russia designations, and that the UK Sanctions List is now the only source for all UK sanctions designations because OFSI’s Consolidated List of Asset Freeze Targets is no longer being updated. For law firms and in-house teams, the practical point is data governance: screening tools, client onboarding and matter-risk workflows need to point to the current authoritative list rather than legacy feeds.
