U.S. slaps sanctions on Russian naval entities
![]() 1811 Thursday, 22 December, 2022, 23:00 The United States on Thursday imposed sanctions on 10 Russian naval entities over Russian operations against Ukrainian ports, the U.S. State Department said, as Washington increases pressure on Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine. The action comes after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy met with President Joe Biden in Washington and delivered a speech to Congress on Wednesday, during which he thanked the United States for its support of Ukraine in the conflict and pleaded for more weapons. "In the wake of Russian naval operations against Ukrainian ports, including those that are providing much-needed food and grain to the world, the United States today is imposing sanctions on Russian naval entities," U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement. Russia's mission to the United Nations in New York did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Since October, Moscow has been targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure with large waves of missile and drone strikes. Ukraine said its Black Sea port of Odesa did not operate for a day earlier this month and the ports of Chornomorsk and Pivdennyi had operated only partially after a Russian attack on the region's energy system. All three ports export grain under a deal brokered by the United Nations and Turkey in July, with Russia and Ukraine to resume Ukraine's Black Sea shipments - stalled since Moscow's Feb. 24 invasion - and facilitate Russia's food and fertilizer exports. |
