U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
READOUT: Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo’s
Meeting of Countries Imposing Economic Restrictions on
Russia
October 14, 2022

WASHINGTON -- Top o�icials representing ministries of finance and other government
agencies from 33 countries met at the U.S. Department of the Treasury today to discuss the
e�ects of international sanctions and export controls on Russiaʼs military-industrial complex
and critical defense supply chains. All countries in attendance have implemented sanctions
and/or export controls on Russia for its brutal war against Ukraine.
The meetingʼs leaders—Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo, Deputy Secretary
of Commerce Don Graves, and Deputy Director of National Intelligence Morgan Muir— shared
information and analysis from the U.S. government on how these joint actions have
disrupted Russiaʼs military operations and defense procurement and undermined its e�orts
on the battlefield. The representatives rea�irmed their commitment to holding Russia
accountable for its unconscionable actions and to prevent evasion of the sanctions and
export controls they have put in place. In addition, the representatives discussed additional
steps they plan to take to further debilitate Russiaʼs military-industrial complex and undercut
its ability to wage war.
A�er the meeting, Treasuryʼs O�ice of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and the Department of
Commerceʼs Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) released a joint alert detailing the impact
of international sanctions and export controls. Read the joint alert

In addition, OFAC issued a new Frequently Asked Question on the sanctions risk exposure for

military-industrial complex. Read the new FAQ.
