+A number of actions taken by governments or other groups may resemble sanction, but are not considered as such in legal terms. An example is the banning of access to certain media outlets. In March, 2022, the Afghan government banned Voice of America, the British Broadcasting Corporation, and Deutsche Welle.  [[Policy:Afghanistan vs. Western Broadcasters, 2022|Discussion of these sanctions can be found here.]]

-Near the end of February 2022, many countries began levying sanctions against more than a thousand entities in Russia and Belarus, in connection with Russia's military invasion of Ukraine. In some cases, the sanctions were additive with preexisting ones associated with Russia's 2014 military invasion of Ukraine.

+Near the end of February 2022, a number of governments and regional organizations adopted sanctions against a wide range of targets in Russia and Belarus more than a thousand entities in Russia, in connection with Russia's military invasion of Ukraine. This included asset freezes against a range of individuals and entities, travel bans against individuals and restrictions on a wide number of sectors, goods and activities, including financial transactions and sanctions against technology companies. In some cases, the sanctions supplemented preexisting ones associated with Russia's 2014 military invasion of Ukraine. [[Policy:Multiple vs. Russia and Belarus, 2022 |Discussion of these sanctions can be found here.]] The adoption of new sanctions was accompanied by a widespread voluntary boycott of Russia of companies around the world, which amplifies the impact of the sanctions in place.
