Version 0.26 (2024-06-13 16:53:58.699000)

updates: The US Department of Treasury has imposed sanctions on Hong Kong-based companies GBL International Logistics Co Ltd (GBL), Tavit Hong Kong Co Limited (Tavit), Holden International Trading Limited (Holden), Taube Precious HK Limited (Taube), and VPower Finance Security Hong Kong Limited (VPower) for their alleged support of Russia's economy amid the War in Ukraine. The Treasury stated that Holden and Taube were used in a laundering scheme by a US-designated Russian gold producer and his Hong Kong-based associate, and VPower was used to transport gold originating from Russia. The sanctions target individuals and entities in and outside Russia that allow Russia to sustain its war effort and evade sanctions. Treasury Secretary Janet L. Yellen stated that the actions aim to increase the risk for financial institutions dealing with Russia's war economy and diminish Russia's ability to benefit from access to foreign technology, equipment, software, and IT services.

updates: Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo visited Kyiv, Ukraine to discuss U.S. financial support, enforcing sanctions on Russia, and using frozen Russian assets for Ukraine's benefit in the war with Moscow. Adeyemo held talks with officials in Ukraine's finance ministry and president's office, and spoke with faculty and civil society groups at the Kyiv School of Economics. The U.S. is hoping for a consensus from European allies on how to spend the majority of the $260 billion in frozen Russian assets located in Europe. U.S. officials are also pressuring American companies to ensure their products do not end up in the hands of Russia's military. Adeyemo criticized China's economic support of Russia through the sale of dual-use goods, stating that Russia is only able to build weapons at the scale they need through the support of China. Adeyemo will give a speech in Berlin on how the U.S. and its allies can prevent goods from their countries from being shipped through third countries and ending up in Russia.
