he United States is imposing sanctions on more than 500 targets connected to Russia’s war machine and the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, the government said Friday. The White House announced the move a day before the second anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The sanctions focus on Russia’s core financial infrastructure, as well as people and entities in other countries the U.S. says are helping supply Russia with critical technology and equipment, and to evade sanctions. In a statement issued by the White House, President Biden said Ukraine is ‘running out of ammunition.’ He called on the House of Representatives to approve new military aid for Ukraine, which is being blocked by Republicans.’ ‘History is watching,’ the president said. ‘The failure to support Ukraine at this critical moment will not be forgotten.’ The measures are the largest sanctions imposed since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, the Treasury Department said. ‘There are some companies out there in these third countries that are wittingly providing resource and material support to Russia’s military industrialized complex,’ Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo said briefing journalists Thursday evening. ‘We’re going to hold them accountable.’ ‘Companies from China, the United Arab Emirates, Serbia, Germany and elsewhere are also targeted for financing and exporting technology to Russia. Adeyemo said the new sanctions, taken in partnership with the European Union and the United Kingdom, will help put ‘sand in the gears of Russia’s military industry complex.”
