Restrictive measures have been introduced against oil, banking, shipbuilding companies and the media.
Today, on June 3, the sixth package of EU sanctions and restrictive measures of the US Treasury against Russia came into force.
Thus, the US Department of Commerce announced 65 legal entities from Russia, in particular, aviation and shipbuilding plants.
Among them are the Main Directorate of Deep-Sea Research of the Ministry of Defense, Gazprom Neft Shelf, the Central Design Bureau of Marine Technology Rubin, Ilyushin Aviation Complex, Yakovlev Design Bureau, Severstal” and Nordgold, clarifies TASS.
The ban is imposed on the purchase of products to support military modernization. Thus, enterprises will not be able to obtain a license for high-tech in the United States, and American enterprises will not receive an export license if their products can support the Russian military potential.
The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, who got on the US sanctions list, called the sanctions “another performance.”
EU sanctions have been imposed on companies in the oil and banking sector, as well as for the media. The list includes 17 Russian entrepreneurs, measures to limit oil supplies to Europe from Russia. In particular, sanctions are imposed on the import of fuel by sea.
According to Bloomberg, the ban is introduced 6 months after the entry into force of the document. The remaining measures began to take effect on June 3.
The EU leadership assumes that together with the measures introduced earlier by Poland and Germany, purchases of Russian fuel, in particular oil, will be reduced by 92% by the end of 2022. It is likely that a ban on the supply of oil to Europe via the pipeline will be introduced later.
The services of European companies and organizations to Russian enterprises of the oil industry have already been banned. However, the Druzhba oil pipeline has not yet been sanctioned, and measures against it may be introduced later.
As for the banking organizations of the Russian Federation, three more will be disconnected from SWIFT – Sberbank, Rosselkhoznadzor and Credit Bank of Moscow. And from the media, three will be banned due to “actions in spreading propaganda.”.
Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia was not included in the blacklist of persons at the request of Hungary. But Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Grigorenko, Minister of Construction Irek Fayzullin, Head of the Ministry of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov, Ministry of Transport Vitaly Saveliev, Maria Zakharova, People’s Artist of Russia Sergey Roldugin, as well as former gymnast Alina Kabayeva, who is considered to be closely connected with the Russian president, got there.
