Russia will classify purchases of companies due to US sanctions
The list includes 10 private banks, major state-owned companies and defense enterprises, as well as suppliers of equipment for large construction projects, in particular, the Crimean Bridge. Of the state structures in the list are the FSB, the Foreign Intelligence Service and the Main State Expert Examination, which is already under US sanctions because of the coordination of the draft bridge to the Crimea.
In late November, the Vedomosti newspaper reported that Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree that allows state-owned companies not to disclose their suppliers. In this way, structures will be able to bypass economic constraints.
Washington is due to announce the new sanctions list in February of 2018. In August, 2017, US President Donald Trump expanded anti-Russian restrictive measures.
