The amendment also revises the definitions of "critical-industry goods," "critical-industry technology," "restricted goods" and "restricted technology," and further extends the bans on trade in certain items with nongovernment-controlled Ukrainian territory. The U.K. also added more items to the banned list of oil and refining goods and created exceptions to some of the new restrictions, amending the offenses.
