Imposed Sanctions on Russia

In response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the US, UK and European Union, among several other countries, have imposed severe sanctions and export controls against Russia, and individuals and entities associated with the Russian government.

To ensure compliance with these sanctions, we will not be accepting registrations from delegates, presenters or sponsors for PUG Challenge (On-Site or Online) from Russia, Belarus, Crimea, the Donetsk People’s Republic and the Luhansk People’s Republic regions of Ukraine, which are the areas covered by the sanctions.
