In order to comply with these sanctions, IBKR has restricted Russian and Belarusian nationals or residents, and entities located in Russia or Belarus or owned by Russian or Belarusian nationals or residents, from opening new positions or increasing existing positions (long or short) in any financial instrument in European exchanges, any financial instrument denominated in an EU currency, traded on any exchange, and any financial instrument that would be custodied at an EU Central Securities Depository.
