More than 2000 individuals, entities, and vessels have been the subject of sanctions since the Russia Sanctions Act came into force in March 2022.
“Those who misuse online platforms to support Russia’s war against Ukraine will face real consequences, including sanctions,” Peters said.
The sanctions will also target an alternative payment provider being used in Russia to evade the existing sanctions in force.
“We are targeting the payment infrastructure that has helped enable Russia’s war against Ukraine,” Peters said.
