12/12/2023 Treasury Imposes Sanctions on More Than 150 Individuals and Entities Supplying Russia’s Military-Industrial Base | U.… Treasury Imposes Sanctions on More Than 150 Individuals and Entities Supplying Russia’s Military-Industrial Base December 12, 2023 WASHINGTON — Last week, G7 Leaders rea irmed their support for an independent, democratic Ukraine within is internationally recognized borders. Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasuryʼs O ice of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), is implementing the commitments made by G7 Leaders by taking action against third-country actors who materially support Russiaʼs war; targeting Russian military procurement networks and those who help Russia acquire machine tools, equipment, and key inputs; and further curtailing Russiaʼs use of the international financial system to further its war in Ukraine. “The Kremlin has steadily turned Russia into a wartime economy, but Putinʼs war machine cannot survive on domestic production alone,” said Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen. “Our sanctions today continue to tighten the vise on willing third-country suppliers and networks providing Russia the inputs it desperately needs to ramp up and sustain its militaryindustrial base.” Concurrently, the Department of State is imposing sanctions on over 100 entities and individuals, including those engaged in sanctions evasion in numerous third countries, complicit in furthering Russiaʼs ability to wage its war against Ukraine, and responsible for bolstering Russiaʼs future energy production and export capacity. T HIRD-COUNT RY SUPPLIERS AND PROCUREMENT NET W ORKS Treasury continues to take action to identify and disrupt third-country individuals, entities, and networks that facilitate, arrange, and enable the transfer of key technology, equipment, and inputs to Russian military-industrial base end-users. Many of these items have been identified by the Department of Commerceʼs Bureau of Industry and Security, alongside the European Union, Japan, and the United Kingdom, as “common high priority items” because Russia seeks to procure them for its weapons programs. https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy1978 1/18 12/12/2023 Treasury Imposes Sanctions on More Than 150 Individuals and Entities Supplying Russia’s Military-Industrial Base | U.… Todayʼs action once again underscores Russiaʼs utilization of Türkiye, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and the Peopleʼs Republic of China (PRC), as well as the use of complex transnational networks and third-country cut-outs, to acquire much-needed technology and equipment for its war economy. Multinational Weapons and Technology Procurement Network OFAC is designating a network of four entities and nine individuals based in the PRC, the Russian Federation, Hong Kong, and Pakistan involved in the facilitation and procurement of Chinese-manufactured weapons and technologies to Russia.

Hu and his associates have attempted to mask the identities of his customers by obfuscating the enduser of PRC-manufactured products, including by coordinating shipments through third-party countries and organizing shipments through intermediary company PJSC Vysochaishy (Vysochaishy) and its Chairman Sergey Vladimirovich Dokuchaev (Dokuchaev). Huʼs network has facilitated the procurement of Chinese-manufactured military materials and technology, including UAVs and related components, for various Russian customers and intermediaries, including Technology 5 Co., Limited (Technology 5) and its General Director Vladimir Vladimirovich Gugnin (Gugnin), Limited Liability Company Yuna Engineering (Yuna) and its General Director Andrei Denisovich Zalevskii (Zalevskii), Roman Aleksandrovich Kotekin (Kotekin) of U.S.-designated FGUP NPP Istok, and Russian intermediary Boris Olegovich Bernikov (Bernikov).
