“This morning, the US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control issued instructions stating that we are ready and able to impose sanctions against people, companies or countries that supply ammunition to Russia or support the Russian military-industrial complex,” he said.
On October 6, the EU approved the eighth package of sanctions against Russia.
In particular, the restrictions include a price ceiling on the sea transportation of Russian oil to third countries and further restrictions on the sea transportation of crude oil and petroleum products to third countries.
Earlier, members of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the upper house of the US Congress came to the conclusion that the restrictions that the US administration imposes against Russia do not give the expected effect.
