Today, the United States is imposing sanctions on key targets within Russia’s energy industry, which serves as the main source of funding for Russia’s conflict against Ukraine. The Department of State is applying sanctions to nearly 80 individuals and organizations. Simultaneously, the Department of the Treasury is designating over 150 individuals and organizations while identifying 183 vessels as blocked property. For more details on Treasury’s measures, please refer to the press release.

The designations by the Department of State aim to diminish Russia’s revenues from oil and natural gas by targeting operators of significant Russian crude oil production and liquefied natural gas initiatives. We are designating the chief executive officer along with members of State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom’s (Rosatom).

All targets from the Department of State are being designated in accordance with Executive Order (E.O.) 14024, as amended, which authorizes sanctions concerning specified harmful foreign activities conducted by the Government of the Russian Federation.

The United States will persist in employing all tools available to hinder support for Russia’s military-industrial complex and limit the Kremlin’s capacity to leverage the international financial system to generate revenue in pursuit of its war against Ukraine. We remain united with Ukrainians in their defense of their homeland against Russian aggression.

Rosatom Board Of Directors And Senior Officials

Today, the Department is designating senior officials of Rosatom, including Chief Executive Officer Alexey Likhachev and members of Rosatom’s Management Board. This marks the eleventh round of sanctions against Russia that involves designations related to Rosatom. Senior officials at Rosatom have publicly declared that the enterprise is developing weapon systems, including those intended for use in Russia’s war against Ukraine. Subsidiaries of Rosatom have supplied the Russian defense sector with military-grade arms, components, and advanced technologies to advance Russia’s conflict with Ukraine.

The individuals designated today facilitate Rosatom’s participation in Russia’s nuclear weapons framework and defense sector, the construction of nuclear power plants for export, the development of advanced technologies and materials, non-uranium extraction industries, and associated operations, along with harmful activities such as the occupation of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine.

Moreover, since the Kremlin’s intensified invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the United States has previously designated significant members of Rosatom’s Supervisory Board in accordance with E.O. 14024 concerning their other (non-Rosatom) positions. Those prior designations featured Supervisory Board chairman Sergei Vladilenovich Kiriyenko, along with members Denis Valentinovich Manturov, Larisa Igorevna Brycheva, Sergey Borisovich Korolev, Aleksandr Valentinovich Novak, Yuriy Petrovich Trutnev, and Maxim Stanislavovich Oreshkin.

Today’s actions elevate the total count of Rosatom-related designations by the United States to close to 70 subsidiaries and associated individuals. Furthermore, they aim to align our actions with previous designations of Rosatom board members made by the United Kingdom (UK) and Canada. These designations are consistent with G7 commitments to reduce Russian nuclear energy supplies and services.

The Department is designating the individuals listed below in accordance with section 1(a)(iii)(A) of E.O. 14024 for serving or having served as a leader, official, senior executive officer, or member of the board of directors of the Government of the Russian Federation:

Consequences of Sanctions

Consequent to the sanctions-related measures implemented today, all assets and interests in property belonging to the sanctioned individuals mentioned above that are within the United States or in the possession or control of U.S. citizens are frozen and must be reported to the Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Moreover, all individuals or entities that are owned, either directly or indirectly, 50 percent or more by one or more sanctioned persons are similarly blocked.

All dealings by U.S. individuals or within (or transiting) the United States that pertain to any assets or interests in property of designated or otherwise sanctioned individuals are forbidden unless permitted by a general or specific license issued by OFAC or are exempt. These restrictions encompass the provision of any donations or funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of any blocked individual and the receipt of any donations or provisions of funds, goods, or services from such individuals.

The effectiveness and authority of U.S. government sanctions arise not solely from the ability to designate and add individuals to the SDN List but also from the readiness to remove individuals from the SDN List in accordance with the law. The ultimate objective of sanctions is not punishment but to foster a positive change in behavior.

Requests for delisting from the SDN List can be submitted to: OFAC.Reconsideration@treasury.gov. Petitioners may also consult the Department of State’s Delisting Guidance webpage.
