[Regnum] The US Department of Commerce has imposed sanctions against 63 companies from Russia, two from Kyrgyzstan and eight from China, the US department reported on February 23. In total, Washington introduced export restrictions against 93 foreign companies. Among them are also companies from Turkey, the UAE, India and South Korea. The sanctions list includes companies operating in the fields of foreign trade, electronics supplies, industrial equipment and tourism. The sanctions included banks and credit organizations, including PJSC SPB Bank, Bank Avangard, Modulbank, RostFinance Bank and Morskoy Bank. The sanctions list included the Sukhoi Design Bureau, Uraltransmash, the Vega Plant, the Mechanical Engineering Design Bureau, Android Technology, Plant No. 9 and the Bryansk Wheel Tractor Plant (part of Almaz-Antey). The United States has imposed sanctions against the automaker Aurus, the PIK group, Geopromining, Elbrus Capital, Pipe Metallurgical Company, Siberian Coal Energy Company, Yuzhuralzoloto (UGK), NOVATEK-Murmansk. Among the individuals on the list are the Russian Ambassador to Belarus Boris Gryzlov, the head of the military-civil administration of the Kharkov region Vitaly Ganchev, and the Chechen Minister for National Policy Akhmed Dudayev. The United States blacklisted the Indian company Crynofist Aviation, which distributes aircraft parts. The document notes that these companies allegedly provided significant assistance to the armed forces and/or the military-industrial complex of Russia. As Regnum reported, on February 23, the Council of the European Union approved the 13th package of sanctions against Russia and published a list of companies and individuals subject to restrictions. In total, 106 individuals and 88 legal entities were subject to sanctions. The European Union also included companies from India, Sri Lanka, China, Serbia, Kazakhstan, Thailand and Turkey in the new package of anti-Russian sanctions. American President Joe Biden announced on February 23 that Washington would impose more than 500 sanctions against Moscow. President Vladimir Putin said on January 11 that by the end of 2023, Russia had become the first economy in Europe. He emphasized that this is especially surprising given how they are trying to strangle the country from all sides. In February, the Russian leader said that sanctions had opened up new opportunities and sales markets had opened up for domestic companies. |
