New sanctions were introduced to limit Russian mercenaries’ access to Western technologies.
The Biden administration has imposed new technology export restrictions on Russian PMC Wagner. On Wednesday, December 21, Reuters reports.
After their introduction, Prigozhin and his wards will face new severe restrictions on access to technologies created anywhere in the world using American equipment.
“The Wagner Group is one of the most notorious mercenary organizations in the world, actively committing crimes and violating human rights in Ukraine,” said Deputy Secretary of Commerce for Industry and Security Alan Estevez.
“Today we are sending a clear message to non-state actors seeking to take the baton of brutality from Putin’s trembling army that the US will not hesitate to act against them,” he added.
According to Reuters, with this step, the States want to show their support to President Vladimir Zelensky against the backdrop of his visit to Washington.
Recall that British intelligence assessed the tactics of the “Wagnerites” near Bakhmut.
Recall that the SBU detained a Russian agent in Odessa who was in contact with the Wagner PMC headquarters.
In addition, in the occupied Kadiivka, Luhansk region, an explosion occurred at the Zhdanov Guest House hotel, where the headquarters of the Wagner PMC mercenaries is located.
