US preparing new sanctions against Russian defense enterprises

The US is preparing new anti-Russian sanctions designed to hit the defense supply chain, US Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo said, Report informs.

“We are planning to target additional sectors that are critical to the Kremlin’s ability to operate its war machine, where a loss of access will ultimately undermine Russia’s ability to build and maintain the tools of war that rely on these inputs. In addition to sanctioning companies in sectors that enable the Kremlin’s malign activities, we also plan to take actions to disrupt their critical supply chains. These are actions we will take in coordination with the more than 30 partners and allies that have joined our coalition in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine,” he said.

“Our Allies and partners are committed to taking additional significant steps to constrain the Russian economy, for as long as Russia’s invasion continues,” he added.
