WASHINGTON, 23 December 2022, (TON): The United States is imposing sanctions on 10 Russian naval entities over Russian operations against Ukrainian ports, the US State Department said, as Washington increases pressure on Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine.
The action comes after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with President Joe Biden in Washington and delivered a speech to Congress, during which he thanked the United States for its support of Ukraine in the conflict and pleaded for more weapons.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement “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.”
