US Package of Sanctions against Russia
On 8 May 2022 the US announced a number of new sanctions measures and designations as part of its on-going response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The actions target those said to be “…critical to Russia’s ability to wage war against Ukraine”. They include a number of Russian ship-owning companies as well as 69 Russian-flagged vessels, senior executives of Sberbank and Gazprombank (two of Russia’s most important banks), Joint Stock Company Moscow Industrial Bank (a Russian state-owned bank) and ten of its subsidiaries, a state-supported weapons manufacturer, and three of Russia’s state-controlled television stations that are said to generate revenue for the Russian State.
