No EU regime and no OFAC country program. Thematic lists (terrorism, cyber, human rights) can still name its people and companies.

Read 2026-09-26 from the EU Sanctions Map and OFAC’s program list. A regime targets what its measures name — listed persons, goods, services — not the whole country. UK: gov.uk publishes each regime as prose, with no machine-readable list of measures per regime; not read.
