The US imposed new sanctions against Russian companies and citizens. Expansion of the list was a response to Russia’s refusal to support the establishment of the tribunal for “Boeing”, experts say. Now the Russian government is likely to extend its sanctions list of Western politicians and companies.
United States on Thursday presented additional sanctions against Russian businessmen and companies. On the extension of the sanctions reported on the website of the US Treasury. All in connection with the events in Ukraine, US authorities have introduced measures against 11 individuals and 15 entities.
Under the sanctions fallen sectoral structure of “Rosneft” and VEB.
In particular, the management company of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RFPI), the bank “Globex”, Prominvestbank, EXIAR, “VEB Asia Limited”, “VEB Capital”, “VEB Engineering “,” VEB Leasing “,” Vankorneft “RRDB” Yuganskneftegaz “,” Rosneft Finance “,” Rosneft Trade Limited “,” Rosneft Trading “.
The US sanctions list also included Concern “Izhmash” holding IACS, SET Petrochemicals, Southeast Trading, Southeast Trading OY. In addition, the sanctions have fallen Crimean port of Sevastopol, Yevpatoria, Feodosia, Kerch, Yalta and Kerch Sea Ferry.
«black list» (Specially Designated Nationals List, SDN) supplemented individuals: among them the Roman Rotenberg, Sergey and Alexander Yanukovych Kurchenko (son of ex-President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych), the ex-Minister of Energy and Coal Industry of Ukraine Eduard Stavitsky, top managers of the concern “Kalashnikov” Bulyutin Andrew and Alexander Omelchenko, a business partner, Gennady Timchenko Kai Paananen
«Today’s actions underscore our commitment to put pressure on Russia in light of the breach of its international law and the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine, – said the head of the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the US Treasury John Smith. – Our message is clear: we will continue to act to ensure that our sanctions remain effective ».
The US State Department noted in this case that the question of removing imposed on Russia by the events Ukraine sanctions could be considered only after the full implementation of the Minsk Agreement. “When the Minsk agreement will be fully implemented, we will be able to talk about the withdrawal of the sanctions”, – he said at a briefing State Department spokesman Mark Toner.
In the “Rosneft”, “Gazeta.ru” said that is not yet ready comment on the situation: “As long as we do not understand, study and lawyers say.”
«For RFPI virtually nothing has changed, switching ON the list of essentially technical and sectoral confirms sanctions against VEB and its subsidiaries (in which it owns more than 50%) of the companies introduced a year ago – said” newspaper. Ru »a source in the Russian Direct Investment Fund – Fund a year working in this mode. This fund is not involved in raising funds in the US, as invests its own funds. The Fund does not expect changes in the situation. ”
Time to expand the list of sanctions was not chosen by chance, in fact, a response to the application less than a day ago, Russia’s veto on a resolution on Ukraine downed Malaysian “Boeing”, experts say .
«selected for that time – today, not three days ago or three weeks – not a chance. This is just due to the vote – said “Gazeta.ru” the vice-president of the Center for Political Technologies, Alexei Makarkin. – In the United States understood that Russia will not vote otherwise. The international community in general about the sanctions have different opinions: some believe that it is necessary to deepen them, and is – that it is necessary to Russia in a different way to say, softer. But right now the number of supporters that with Russia it is necessary to talk to those who might criticize the sanctions reduced. After some time, they will renew the application, but now it is awkward. So now the sanctions are unlikely to be met severe criticism in the West. Therefore, their decision was made to enter now. ”
However, the US Embassy in Moscow said that the extension of sanctions against Russia is not connected with the fact that Moscow vetoed the creation of a tribunal by the collapse of the “Boeing” in Ukraine. “It’s nothing to do. It is an extension of the current sanctions, to ensure that they have the same effect as before, “- said a spokesman for the US Embassy in Moscow, William Stevens.
The impact of sanctions on the Russian economy previously recognized domestic companies, businessmen, politicians.
For example, as stated in the annual report of the state corporation “Rostec” as a result of the sanctions standoff number of projects the company may lose its investment attractiveness. “The sanctions could harm the investment attractiveness of projects and capitalization of its brand, the profit received” Rostec “from owning shares / shares in subsidiaries», – said in the document.
At the end of June, the USM Holdings Alisher Usmanov also acknowledged the impact of anti-Russian sanctions on the work of the holding. “All of the changes that are currently taking place in the economy, and the more they are aggravated by external factors in relation to our country, played a negative role, they complicate the way to improve technology for our companies stopped the process of raising the productivity of labor», – said businessman.
However, in March, the United States noted that the sanctions do not bring the desired effect.
As said US Secretary of State John Kerry, anti-Russian sanctions have a strong effect on the Russian economy, but they are not sufficient to change the position of Vladimir Putin .
Following the expansion of the sanctions list, Russia is likely to expand its sanctions list of Western politicians and companies, experts say.
«It is clear that Russia will not impose retaliatory sanctions against ExxonMobil, because the same “Rosneft” is interested in, in order to maintain a relationship with them – said Makarkin. – So I think that there is no such symmetry. But can any American organizations to the list of junk. There is a whole list and from it you can select someone. They may find some of the economic entities that work in Russia or with Russia and are not so important for the Russian players. Space to take some antisanktsii, great. ”
the ministry states that the list of, in particular, is on the North Caucasus Development Corporation, UK “Fund for the Development of the Far East and the Baikal region».

According Movchan, practice alerts plays a significant role in American law.
«I do not think its a reminder of the US Treasury will complicate life for Russian companies. With regard to Russian business, and so there echelon approval, the transaction, the owners and stuff. For companies that do not fall under the sanctions, it will not change much, “- said the expert.
