The United States and the United Kingdom Announce New Wave of Sanctions Against Russia
On Friday, February 24, 2023, the United States (U.S.) announced a new wave of sanctions and export controls restrictions against Russia aimed at (1) holding individuals and entities accountable for engaging in sanctions evasion, (2) imposing pressure on Russia’s key revenue-generating sectors including the energy, extractive, financial, defense, and technology sectors, and (3) targeting individuals, financial institutions, and proxy Russian authorities supporting Russia’s war effort. These measures reflect the ongoing efforts by the Biden administration, its allies and partners, to impose strong economic costs on Russia and disrupt its ability to wage its war of aggression. The Biden administration also announced billions of dollars in additional military aid for Ukraine. In parallel, the EU also published the previously announced tenth package of sanctions on February 25, 2023 (see Winston & Strawn’s client alert here).
