Reason for listing
(UK Sanctions List Ref):RUS0259. Financial sanctions imposed in addition to an asset freeze: Trust services. Date trust services sanctions imposed: 21/03/2023. (UK Statement of Reasons):As Deputy Minister of Defence for Armament and Chief of Armament of the Belarusian Armed Forces, Major General Sergei Simonenko is an active and senior military leader in Belarus and, as part of the top-level chain of command, is responsible for directing the actions of the Belarusian armed forces, which have supported and enabled Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The Belarusian armed forces have conducted joint military exercises with Russian armed forces, and also consented to the deployment of Russian troops along the border of Belarus with Ukraine, which has directly contributed to Russia’s ability to both threaten and attack Ukraine, including from positions in Belarus. Simonenko therefore is or has been involved in destabilising Ukraine and undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine. (Gender):Male
