Guidance on the Russia sanctions

To support businesses in Scotland who may be affected directly and indirectly by the Russia sanctions, a ‘Russia sanctions’ landing page has been created on the Find Business Support website.

This includes a ‘Useful links’ section and a link to international trade support services and events available on the site.
