Sanctions against the Russian military-industrial complex and its supply chains are the next target for the United States. This was stated by US Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo.

“Despite the fact that we continue to apply severe financial sanctions against Russia and its key financial institutions, the next stage of our work will be to dismantle the Russian military machine piece by piece, including restrictions on the military-industrial complex and its supply chains,” he said.

According to him, the Russian military operation in Ukraine is taking longer than Moscow originally expected, so the Russian armed forces need to be supplied with new ammunition and weapons. “To prevent this from happening, we are continuing our efforts to use sanctions and export controls to deprive Russia of the critical resources it needs, targeting key industries such as aerospace and electronics,” Adeyemo added.
