“In the United States alone, we have imposed a thousand sanctions against Russian structures and individuals,” Adeyemo emphasized, RIA Novosti quotes.
He noted that the excessive number of established restrictions worries him.
“One of the measures we took at the direction of the President (USA Joe Biden. - RT ) was that we acted as much as possible on a multilateral basis.
The second was that we did a serious analysis before the imposition of sanctions in order to understand what the economic consequences would be for the target, as well as what the economic impact would be for the United States, ”commented the deputy minister on the development of sanctions against Russia.
Earlier, Wally Adeyemo, during a report on spending additional funding in connection with the situation in Ukraine, said that the Ministry of Finance had to hire additional staff to work out anti-Russian sanctions.
In total, $13 million was spent on this and a number of other purposes.
On June 10, United States Assistant Secretary of State for Economic and Business Affairs Eric Woodhouse announced that the United States intends to tighten the sanctions regime against Russia.
