The administration of US President Donald Trump has imposed more than 300 sanctions in three years in response to Russia’s aggressive actions in Ukraine. This was announced by the Secretary of State of the United States, Mike Pompeo.
Since 2017, the administration of the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, has imposed sanctions on more than 365 Russian facilities. United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo wrote on Twitter on January 3.
The sanctions were imposed in response to “the destabilizing and aggressive actions of Russia in Ukraine and throughout Europe,” the report said.
Russia annexed Crimea after an illegal referendum on March 16, 2014. Ukraine and most countries in the world do not recognize the peninsula’s accession to the Russian Federation. At the moment, there is a control regime between mainland Ukraine and Crimea, and Kiev does not de facto control the peninsula.
In the immediate aftermath of the annexation of Crimea in 2014, Russia launched an armed aggression in eastern Ukraine. The fighting is between the Armed Forces of Ukraine, on the one hand, and the Russian army and the Russian-backed militants who control parts of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, on the other. The Russian Federation does not officially recognize its invasion of Ukraine, despite the facts and evidence presented by Ukraine.
The first US sanctions against the Russian Federation due to aggression against Ukraine were introduced in 2014. They were expanded and expanded several times. Trump on February 25, 2020 extended economic sanctions against Russia for one year. This was reported by the White House press service.
On December 22, 2020, the United States imposed sanctions against 58 Chinese and 45 Russian companies and agencies working in the military. The list was posted on the U.S. Department of Commerce website on December 21.
