The US Treasury Department announced on Friday local time: On the occasion of two years of Russia’s full-scale and illegal war against Ukraine and in response to the death of Alexei Navalny, an active opposition politician Anti-corruption, the Foreign Assets Control Office of the US Treasury Department sanctioned almost 300 individuals and entities.

The US Treasury Department added: These measures, which are carried out together with the action of the US State Department, are the largest number of sanctions imposed against Russia since the country’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

This American institution added: The United States sanctions three Russian government officials in connection with Navalny’s death. The Treasury Department and the US government jointly sanction more than 500 targets to impose additional costs on Russia’s repression, human rights abuses, and aggression against Ukraine. The Ministry of Commerce also adds more than 90 companies to the blacklist of entities.

The US Treasury Department added: To deprive Russia of the resources it needs to support its brutal war against Ukraine, it is imposing sanctions on targets including a major base in Russia’s financial infrastructure. These sanctions also include more than 12 people in third countries in Europe, East Asia, Central Asia and the West Asia and hundreds of entities in Russia’s military-industrial base and other key sectors.

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said: “This great anniversary of the war and the death of Alexei Navalny while in Russian custody is a reminder of Putin’s blatant disregard for human life, from Ukraine to Putin’s opponents in Russia.”
The US Treasury Secretary added: “Russia’s economy and military-industrial base are showing clear signs of weakness, in part because of the actions we are taking with our partners and allies around the world to support Ukraine’s courageous defense.” We have given.”

Yellen said: “Putin has endangered the present and future of the Russian people because of his goals in Ukraine.” The Kremlin has preferred to change its economy towards making weapons to kill its neighbors at the cost of the economic future of the people of this country.”

“We must continue to support Ukraine, to weaken the Russian war machine,” he said. “It is critical that Congress joins our allies around the world to provide Ukraine with the tools it needs to defend itself and be free from Putin’s ruthless onslaught.”

Earlier, US President Joe Biden announced more than 500 new sanctions against Russia due to the war in Ukraine and the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, and repeated his anti-Iranian claims, saying: “Ukraine to counter the relentless attacks of Russia, which Iran and North Korea’s weapons and ammunition have become possible, it needs more military assistance from the United States of America.

Alexey Navalny, a well-known critic of the Russian government and the leader of the country’s opposition, who was imprisoned due to previous convictions, was sentenced to 19 years in prison on August 13 at the end of another trial. Russia’s Ryanovsi news agency reported on 27th of February 1402 equal to 16th of February 2024 that he was serving his sentence in a prison in the Yamalo-Nenets region of Russia, “after a walk, he felt bored and immediately lost consciousness. The medical staff of the prison intervened to revive him and an emergency medical team was called; They tried to revive Navalny, but failed. Finally, emergency doctors confirmed his death.”

In response to Russia’s attack on Ukraine in February 2022 (Esfand 1400), America and Western countries have imposed extensive sanctions against Moscow and sent billions of dollars in weapons and military equipment to Kiev. Despite the unprecedented sanctions and the West’s efforts to isolate Russia, the Kremlin has managed to keep its economy afloat in the war.

America has also accused Iran of supporting Russia by sending drones since the beginning of this war. An accusation that the authorities of the Islamic Republic of Iran have repeatedly rejected.

These days, the United States of America is simultaneously involved in two major crises, one in Eastern Europe and the other in Western Asia (West Asia), i.e. the war in Ukraine and the other war in Gaza and supporting the Israeli regime, which has reached the dimensions of the Israeli war in Yemen and These issues have changed the equations in the domestic sphere as well as the foreign policy of this country.
