US want to achieve from China and India to stop trade with the Russian Federation - WSJ

Officials say that the purpose of the second stage is to cover all the remaining paths, providing the income and imports required by President Vladimir Putin for war. Foreign banks and cryptocurrency platforms have come under the sight to help Russia support international currencies. The United States also focused on blocking bank accounts and corporate assets of oligarchs listed in the black list.

The publication notes that the Russians continue to sell huge volumes of oil and natural gas to Western countries, which depend on the export of Russian energy. All this allows Moscow to continue the war and maintain its economy afloat, despite the sanction campaign. US officials say that they did not expect their economic war strategy to reach their goal instantly, but the impact of sanctions would gradually increase.

According to them, in order to achieve this, the United States reveals people and companies that help Russia bypass sanctions. The Ministry of Finance and Security and Security Bureau of the Ministry of Trade Bureau are prosecuting companies that continue to supply new export controls such as semiconductors and weapons to the Russian Federation. In August, the US Treasury imposed sanctions on the Russian financial institution of JSC "Prospective Industrial and Infrastructure Technologies".

He was accused of the fact that it is a cover for the Russian direct investment fund that has previously been sanctioned. "Those who contribute to the evasion of US sanctions will be subjected to sanctions themselves," the ministry said. On the same day, the US Department of Commerce banned US companies to do business related to 25 aircraft belonging to Russian Aeroflot and Oligarch Roman Abramovich. Russian planes are forbidden to fill with fuel, servic or supply them with spare parts.

The Ministry of Finance has also recently imposed sanctions on EMC Sud Ltd. , which is used by Russian agents for the purchase of technology for Moscow special services. Finance and Justice Departments have created target groups called Kleptocapture and Repo for Russian elites, trusted persons of the Kremlin top and oligarchs to track and arrest the assets introduced to the Black List of the Russians.

Several major countries that have long -standing relations with Russia in trade and security continue to export goods banned by US sanctions. The China's government has stated that it would not be followed by illegal actions or which are harmful to companies based in China and are doing business with Russia. At the same time, Chinese companies supply computer chips and other electronic components that can be used for military purposes.

"Our concern and our warnings have always been in the context of potential [Chinese] military assistance or systematic assistance to help Russia avoid the influence of US and international sanctions," said the State Department of the State Department of the Ned Prime. - In our relations with [China] we said very clearly About the consequences of this. " In the spring, the White House High Officer visited New Delhi to urge India to take a harder position on Russia.

However, Indian companies are still supplied to Russian companies with oil and gas equipment prohibited in accordance with the US export control. According to the Import Genius trade data, there is now an increase in Russian trade with three countries: Brazil, Israel and Uzbekistan. Another problem is collaboration with Iran, which has long been subjected to Western sanctions on its financial and energy sectors and has accumulated experience to evade them.
