EO 14024 (Russia Harmful Foreign Activities)
The 2021 Executive Order authorizing sanctions over Russia's harmful foreign activities, including the invasion of Ukraine.
Definition
Executive Order 14024, signed in April 2021, authorizes blocking sanctions on individuals and entities associated with the Government of the Russian Federation and over specified harmful foreign activities. It is the primary modern legal authority for a large share of Russia-related OFAC designations.
Regulatory context
EO 14024 establishes the Russia-related sanctions authority used to designate hundreds of Russian banks, oligarchs, tech firms, and entities. Designated parties are added to the SDN list under the RUS-EO14024 program tag. Secondary sanctions exposure extends to certain non-US persons.
Who it affects
Any counterparty with exposure to Russian entities — banks, payment platforms, crypto exchanges, and agents routing payments to or through Russia or Russian-designated persons.
Relevance to AI agents
Russia sanctions are the most active program by designation volume. Agents handling cross-border or crypto payments should treat any Russia-connected counterparty as elevated risk and screen against the EO 14024 tag specifically, not just the broad SDN list.
