Official reasons

• Vice-Admiral Vladimir KASATONOV is the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Navy of the Russian Federation. It is known that elements of the Russian Navy have been heavily involved in the ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russia, including conducting missile strikes on cities and launching amphibious assaults. As Deputy Commander-in-Chief, there are reasonable grounds to suspect that Vice-Admiral KASATONOV will have directed operations against Ukraine by the Russian Navy and/or otherwise have had responsibility for, involvement in and influence over such operations. He has also been utilised as a special envoy to garner support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He is therefore a person who is responsible for, engages in, provides support for, or promotes any policy or action which destabilises Ukraine or undermines or threatens the territorial integrity, sovereignty or independence of Ukraine. The trust services sanctions were imposed on 21/03/2023.

Other information
