The United States is today designating two individuals and 18 entities for operating in the financial services and technology sectors of the Russian Federation economy. Many of today’s targets offer services to previously designated entities, including Russian financial institutions, or misuse virtual assets to enable sanctions evasion.
Today’s action reaffirms the G7 commitment to curtail Russia’s use of the international financial system to further its war against Ukraine. It also reflects our continued efforts to target companies servicing Russia’s core financial infrastructure. We will continue to take all appropriate action to promote accountability for those who enable or profit from Russia’s illegal war.
