The U.S. Department of State's Office of Economic Sanctions Policy and Implementation has removed one person from the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN List). This decision, effective January 16, 2025, means that the individual is no longer subject to the restrictions imposed by Executive Order 14024, which targeted harmful foreign activities by the Russian government. More information about the SDN List and related sanctions programs can be found on the Office of Foreign Assets Control's website.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. Department of State has decided that one person no longer needs to be on a special list that stops them from doing business because they were linked to bad actions by the Russian government. This means that from January 16, 2025, that person can now do things like business or travel more freely.
