The United States Government has not yet convinced The Bahamas government of the need to implement sanctions against Russians for invading Ukraine. Here is he latest from the Cabinet office:

On Possible Sanctions on Russia 

For Immediate  Release 

8 March 2022

The matter of sanctions was discussed  extensively by the Government  today and we are in consultations with all our partners and stakeholders both domestic  and international.  This remains an evolving matter. 

In the meantime, we are  advising  all entities  within The  Bahamas that they ought to deal with appropriate  caution in respect of any transactions in our country with Russian individuals  and entities who have been sanctioned by the United States, EU, Canada and the United Kingdom. 

We continue to deplore the attack on Ukraine  by the Russian Federation.
