US imposed sanctions on Bashar al-Assad's son

This was reported on the website of the US Treasury.

The list, in particular, was the first armored division of the Syrian army.

In June, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that the American side is introducing new sanctions against Syria, in particular, they are aimed at the Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad and his wife.

As noted in the Russian Foreign Ministry, the US sanctions against Syria in the framework of the "Caesar Act" hit ordinary Syrians.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said that such measures against Syria are illegal and aimed at "economic strangulation" of the country.
