This was stated in the US State Department. At the same time, the agency explained that the new sanctions will be addressed to foreign structures that conduct business with the defense sector and Russian intelligence.

The State Department is confident that if sanctions are imposed, they will affect companies outside of Russia that are responsible for significant transactions with the Russian defense and intelligence sector.

The agency also stressed that the United States has already warned governments and companies of countries that conduct trade operations with Russia about the possibility of imposing sanctions against them.

Details on the implementation of anti-Russian sanctions, the State Department previously passed to Congress in a secret report and refused to disclose them.

The State Department spokesman noted that the US government applies sanctions against Moscow to "put pressure on Russia to address our concerns about its aggression in Ukraine, interference in the internal affairs of other countries and violations of human rights".

Recall, the US Treasury will present the so-called "Kremlin report"? list of undesirable persons from Russia who may fall under the new restrictive measures of Washington.

As reported URA-Inform, the State Department said that after the entry into force of the law "On Countering US Enemies through Sanctions," lost billions of dollars in the failed defense deals.
