The State Department has imposed sanctions on 120 individuals and companies, while the Treasury Department has targeted 270. These new sanctions focus on sectors crucial to the military efforts of the aggressor country, Russia, as stated in a release by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, made public on October 30.
The aim of the restrictions imposed by the State Department is to prevent sanctions evasion, targeting entities in numerous third countries, including China, India, Malaysia, Thailand, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates, according to the announcement.
"The Department is also adding several high-ranking officials from the Russian Ministry of Defense, appointed earlier this year, to the sanctions list. Additional sanctions pertain to Russia's military-industrial base, particularly military repair enterprises, advanced technology manufacturers, and organizations supporting Belarusian-Russian defense relations," the State Department reported.
Specifically, the list includes the following deputies of the Russian Minister of Defense:
- Alexander Fomin;
- Victor Goremykin;
- Pavel Fradkov (son of former Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov);
- Andrey Buliga;
- Anna Tsivileva, who, according to "Project", is a secret niece of the illegitimate President of Russia, Vladimir Putin (the daughter of his cousin, Yevgeny Putin).
Additionally, sanctions have been imposed on subsidiaries of "Rosatom."
The current tightening of sanctions marks the 10th sanction action against the corporation, as stated in the release. The restrictions affect the subsidiaries of "Rosatom" involved in the development of digital and electronic technologies, as well as new business areas, the State Department noted.
