The United States on Thursday imposed sweeping new measures against Moscow over the war in Ukraine, targeting Russia\u2019s future energy capabilities, sanctions evasion and a suicide drone that has been a menace to Ukrainian troops and equipment, among others, in sanctions on hundreds of people and entities.<\/p>\n
The latest measures target a major entity involved in the development, operation and ownership of a massive project in Siberia known as Arctic-2 LNG, the State Department said in a statement. The project expected to ship chilled natural gas, known as liquefied natural gas to global markets.<\/p>\n
Washington also targeted the KUB-BLA and Lancet suicide drones being used by the Russian military in Ukraine, designating a network it accused of procuring items in support of their production as well as the creator and designer of the drones.<\/p>\n
The Biden administration on Thursday added a dozen Russian companies to a trade blacklist for supporting Russia\u2019s military with drones that could be used to aid in Moscow\u2019s invasion of Ukraine, the Commerce Department said in a statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
