The Russia sanctions regime: EO 14024, the bank designations, the sectoral measures, and what the largest sanctions program means for screening.
The Russia program is the largest sanctions regime in US history - and the one most likely to touch a payment path.
EO 14024 (April 2021) authorizes designations for Russia's harmful foreign activities. Post-February 2022, the program expanded massively: banks, oligarchs, defense firms, and sectoral measures.

Sberbank and VTB were designated in February 2022 - among the largest banks in the world. Promsvyazbank (defense sector bank) followed. Bank Rossiya was designated back in 2014. Each is a check page on this site: Sberbank, VTB, Promsvyazbank, Rossiya.
Russia exposure is both entity-level (the designated banks and firms) and jurisdiction-level (the Crimea and separatist region measures). The Russia country page covers the full designation set.
A payment path that touches Russian banks, defense firms, or sanctioned entities is in scope. Screen counterparties and jurisdiction - the same three-surface screen.
