The United States has rolled out new sanctions against nearly 400 entities and individuals backing Russia’s war effort in Ukraine. Aiming to cripple Russia’s military-industrial base, the measures also target third-country networks aiding Moscow’s sanctions evasion and seek to disrupt support for Russia’s future energy production and exports.
The new actions, announced jointly on Oct. 30 in a Treasury Department statement and a State Department fact sheet, include measures against Russian defense officials, Belarusian support for Russia’s military, and China-based suppliers of dual-use goods that are being used to bolster Moscow’s production of weapons used on the battlefield.
