The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has expanded its sanctions list against Russia, targeting several Russian banks and automobile factories. Additionally, two individuals from Uzbekistan were included in the sanctions, report the press service of the American department.
The newly added entities on the sanctions list include Avtodor, Moskvich, NPO Saturn, Soyuz, Sollers, Arctic Energies, Cryogenmash, AGD Diamonds, Tonar machine-building plant, Ak Bars Bank, SINCO Bank, and Globaltrans. Furthermore, mining companies such as Yanskaya Mining Company, Taimyr Resources, Taimyr Mining Company, Siberian Coal Company, and Redmetconcentrate were also added to the list.
In addition to these entities, two individuals from Uzbekistan were subject to personal sanctions: Iskander Makhmudov, the head of the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company (UMMC), and Andrei Khokhlun, the founder of Microtech company.
Furthermore, the sanctions extended to Turkish and Finnish companies that were involved in exporting electronics and dual-use goods to Russia. Uzbekistan maintains active collaborations with several of the sanctioned Russian companies, including agreements with Transmashholding to supply metro cars for the Tashkent metro and plans by AvtoVAZ to hire 1,000 specialists from Uzbekistan.
These sanctions reflect the ongoing pressure from the U.S. on Russia and its affiliated entities, affecting not only Russian institutions but also those with international ties to Russia.
