Such a statement on the eve of the start of the G7 leaders’ summit in Hiroshima was made by US authorities, writes RIA Novosti.
“The United States will announce a significant package (of sanctions. – editor’s note), we will update the economic pressure on Russia, continue to extend export restrictions to make it even more difficult for Russia to maintain its machine military,” a US administration said. an official said Thursday.
Details of the sanctions package were not disclosed, but it said “sanctions will be announced against 300 individuals, companies, vessels and aircraft”. In addition, “restrictions on the receipt of export goods from the United States concerning almost 70 companies from Russia and third countries” will come into force. The statement on the White House website also says restrictions will also be introduced against companies trying to circumvent pressure mechanisms on the Russian Federation from Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
