[Research] FW: NEW Export Controls and Financial and Trade Sanctions against Russia

[Charles -Jr E Greer]

Dear Colleagues,

As you may be aware, the U.S. Government, along with its Allies and partners, continue to impose severe and immediate economic measures on the Russian Federation for its further invasion of Ukraine. On February 24, 2022, the U.S. Government issued a new series of export control measures and financial and trade sanctions, some of which may have an impact on university personnel and activities in, with, or in support of the Russian Federation.
