The list includes eight individuals and the company "Grand Express Service", which is the operator of passenger rail transport to the Crimea.

“I believe that it is completely not constructive and unpromising to introduce additional sanctions against Russian companies. This will not affect their work in any way, since rail transportation operations are carried out on the territory of our country and the Americans cannot influence it in any way, ”Morozov said.

According to the deputy, in a political sense, this decision of the US Treasury Department is "another unfriendly step towards Russia."

“We have always advocated strengthening our ties and not provoking each other. I am sure that in the future our states are interested in developing precisely the positive agenda of bilateral relations, ”he said.

Earlier it became known that the US Treasury has expanded the list of sanctions against Russia.
