US imposes new sanctions on Russia

The United States has imposed new sanctions on Russia, designating four individuals, three legal entities, and one bulk carrier. The formal reason for the sanctions is allegedly counter-terrorism, although all the individuals on the list are linked to the theft of Ukrainian grain from the temporarily occupied territories and its supply to Yemen.

The sanctions list includes Yuriy Belyakov, Vyacheslav Vidanov, Sohrab Gairat, Ushang Gairat, as well as Edison, Hummingbird Group, Sky Frame, AM Asia M6 Ltd and the Russian-flagged bulk carrier AM Theseus. At the same time, Katerina Rotenberg, the wife of Russian billionaire Boris Rotenberg, was removed from the sanctions list without any explanation from the US Treasury.
