US slaps sanctions on Russian banks over Ukraine war
The Straits Times|November 23, 2024
WASHINGTON - The US unveiled sanctions on dozens of Russian banks on Nov 21 - including the largest remaining one yet to face such action - over the war in Ukraine.

The move taking aim at financial institutions and officials "will further diminish and degrade Russia's war machine", Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in a statement.

"This sweeping action will make it harder for the Kremlin to evade US sanctions and fund and equip its military," she added.

The latest sanctions hit Gazprombank, Russia's largest remaining bank not previously blocked by the US and more than 50 internationally connected Russian banks, the Treasury Department said.

The effort also covers more than 40 Russian securities registrars and 15 Russian finance officials, the department added.
