The US Treasury placed top Russian finance officials, a neo-Nazi fighter group, and a children’s rights official who allegedly directs the removal of Ukrainian children to Russia on its sanctions blacklist Thursday.
Some 22 individuals and two entities were added to the Treasury’s blacklist, including justice officials in occupied Crimea and members of Chechen Republic leader Ramzan Kadyrov’s family.
In a parallel move, the Treasury and US Commerce Department banned the export of quantum computing services, hardware and software to Russia and Belarus in a move the Treasury said would degrade Moscow’s ability to rebuild its military after heavy losses in the continuing war with Ukraine.
