British Indian Ocean Territory's trade with Russia has no record of its own for the war years: no customs or partner records of what it bought from or sold to Russia. Small rough estimates are counted, too little to give it a direction, so it is not ranked and it is drawn hatched on the map.

## Sanctions on Russia

British Indian Ocean Territory is a British overseas territory: the UK's sanctions on Russia apply there through the Russia (Sanctions) (Overseas Territories) Order 2020. Separately, Russia lists British Indian Ocean Territory as an “unfriendly” state (government order 3216-r, 29 October 2022): that is Russia's own list of countries it acts against, not a sanction by British Indian Ocean Territory. Checked 27 October 2026.
