The United States on Wednesday imposed new sanctions on Russia over the war in Ukraine, targeting the network, which Washington accuses of buying military and dual-use technology from American manufacturers and supplying it to Russian users, Reuters reported.
The U.S. Treasury Department said it had imposed sanctions on Russian Yuri Yuriyovich Orekhov, who was accused of being a procurement agent, and two of his companies, Nord-Deutsche Industrieanlagenbau GmbH and Opus Energy Trading LLC.
Deputy Finance Minister Wally Adeyemo said sanctions and export controls imposed by a broad coalition of allies have left Russia increasingly struggling to obtain “inputs and technology” for its war effort.
“We know these efforts have a direct impact on the battlefield, as Russia’s desperation has forced it to turn to substandard suppliers and outdated equipment,” he said in a statement.
