MOSCOW—A handful of prominent American CEOs, including BlackRock Inc.’s Larry Fink and the bosses at Delta Air Lines Inc., Netflix Inc. and Universal Pictures, have landed on a fresh list of sanctions Russia has imposed in retaliation for blistering economic restrictions the West has rolled out against Moscow.

The U.S., U.K. and the European Union have issued sanctions on a widening array of entities and individuals they say are complicit in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine or are close to Russian President Vladimir Putin. That has included a long list of Russian officials, legislators and military officers. Governments have also targeted Russian billionaire business people and friends and family of Mr. Putin. The individual sanctions vary widely by capital, but typically involve travel restrictions and asset freezes.
