The US has increased its sanctions against Russia, targeting companies and individuals in Turkey, China and the United Arab Emirates for supplying Moscow with goods that can be used for military purposes.
The new measures include additional action against the Russian energy and mining sectors, and lists more than 200 names around the world facing financial and travel restrictions, the US Treasury and the state department said on Thursday.
“Russia is dependent on willing third-country individuals and entities to resupply its military, and perpetuate its heinous war against Ukraine, and we will not hesitate in holding them accountable,” Janet Yellen, Treasury secretary, said.
