The new restrictions on Russia target goods that could be used to help the Russian military, including items used in everyday life such as clothes dryers, snow ploughs, and milking machines that the US says could be repurposed to support the Moscow military machine.
The US also blacklisted 69 Russian companies and one each from Armenia and Kyrgyzstan. These are, in particular, aircraft repair companies, gunpowder, tractor and automobile plants.
The ministry explained that it has sanctioned Russian businesses because it believes they support Russia’s military and military industry.
The essence of the sanctions is that the United States actually prohibits the sale of any goods to these enterprises, except for food and medicine.
Reuters adds that among the companies attached to the list are those associated with oil and gas projects, in particular, production on the Arctic shelf and shale gas, as well as companies involved in the repair of aircraft and the production of spare parts for them, the production of gunpowder, tractor and automobile plants, shipyards and engineering offices.
In addition, personal US sanctions apply to more than 40 people, including Deputy Prime Minister Victoria Abramchenko, rector of St. Petersburg Mining University Vladimir Litvinenko and co-owner of the Mercury Palace of Culture Igor Kesaev.
