Sanctions to Disrupt Russia’s Military Industrial Base and Sanctions Evasion

Today, the United States is sanctioning nearly 250 enablers of Russia's illegal war against Ukraine. As part of this action, the Department of State is designating more than 150 individuals and entities. Building on our January 10 targeting of Russia's energy sector, today's action aims to thwart sanctions evasion, particularly by actors based in the Peoples's Republic of China (PRC), and to degrade Russia's military industrial base. Additional designations target subsidiaries of State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom (Rosatom).

Concurrently, the Department of the Treasury is re-designating nearly 100 previously sanctioned targets across Russia's financial services, energy, and defense and related materiel sectors. Treasury is also designating entities involved in several financial sanctions evasion schemes. For information about Treasury's actions, please see Treasury's press release.

All Department of State targets are being designated pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 14024 which authorizes sanctions with respect to specified harmful foreign activities of the Government of the Russian Federation.

The United States will use all tools at its disposal to disrupt support for Russia's military-industrial base and curtail the Kremlin's ability to exploit the international financial system and generate revenue in furtherance of its war against Ukraine. We support Ukraine as it defends its people and its sovereign territory from Russia's unprovoked aggression.

DISRUPTING SANCTIONS EVASION AND BACKFILLING EFFORTS

The Department aims to disrupt the networks and channels through which Russia procures technology and equipment from abroad to support its war effort. Today's designations target producers, exporters, and importers of items critical to Russia's military-industrial base. Those items include microelectronics and computer numerical control (CNC) items on the Common High Priority List (CHPL), as identified by the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) alongside the European Union (EU), Japan, and the United Kingdom. Entities based in the PRC remain the largest suppliers of these goods to Russia. Entities in numerous other jurisdictions, particularly Malaysia, Türkiye, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), also sell these items and other important dual-use goods to Russia. These exports have included critical components that Russia relies on to produce the weapons systems it uses to wage war against Ukraine.

PRC-Based Entities Supporting Russia's Military Industrial Base

The United States remains deeply concerned by the export of dual-use goods from the PRC to the Russian military-industrial base. PRC entities continue to trade in these items, using the sanctions evasion and circumvention networks that Russia creates to provide CHPL microelectronics, CNC tools (machine tools), and other military-applicable components. Imports from the PRC fill critical gaps in Russia's defense production cycle, thereby enabling it to produce weapons systems, ramp up defense production, and bolster its military-industrial base.

Today, the Department is designating numerous entities and individuals based in the PRC that have supplied goods to Russian entities responsible for developing, producing, and supplying items critical to Russia's military industrial base. These designations target producers and exporters of CNC items critical to Russia's military industrial base, including those that have shipped goods directly to U.S.-designated entities in Russia.

Additionally, the Department is designating PRC-based entities involved in the supply and production of Russian glide bombs and attack drones Lancet and Garpiya-A1, used in Russia's war against Ukraine.

SANCTIONS IMPLICATIONS

As a result of today's sanctions-related actions, and in accordance with E.O. 14024 all property and interests in property of the sanctioned persons described above that are in the United States or in possession or control of U.S. persons are blocked and must be reported to the Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Additionally, all individuals or entities that have ownership, either directly or indirectly, 50 percent or more by one or more blocked persons are also blocked.

All transactions by U.S. persons or within (or transiting) the United States that involve any property or interests in property of designated or otherwise blocked persons are prohibited unless authorized by a general or specific license issued by OFAC or exempt. These prohibitions include the making of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of any blocked person and the receipt of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services from any such person.

The power and integrity of U.S. government sanctions derive not only from the U.S. government's ability to designate and add persons to the SDN List, but also from its willingness to remove persons from the SDN List consistent with the law. The ultimate goal of sanctions is not to punish, but to bring about a positive change in behavior.

Petitions for removal from the SDN List may be sent to: [email protected]. Petitioners may also refer to the Department of State's Delisting Guidance page.
