Treasury Takes Aim at Third-Country Sanctions Evaders and
Russian Producers Supporting Russia’s Military Industrial Base
October 30, 2024

Sanctions target individuals and entities in 17 jurisdictions; Deputy Secretary calls on countries
to take similar action against enablers of Russiaʼs military-industrial base
WASHINGTON — Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury sanctioned 275 individuals and
entities involved in supplying Russia with advanced technology and equipment that it
desperately needs to support its war machine. Todayʼs action targets both individual actors
and sprawling sanctions evasion networks across 17 jurisdictions, including India, the Peopleʼs
Republic of China (PRC), Switzerland, Thailand, and Türkiye. In addition to disrupting global
evasion networks, this action also targets domestic Russian importers and producers of key
inputs and other materiel for Russiaʼs military-industrial base.
“The United States and our allies will continue to take decisive action across the globe to
stop the flow of critical tools and technologies that Russia needs to wage its illegal and
immoral war against Ukraine,” said Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo. “As
evidenced by todayʼs action, we are unyielding in our resolve to diminish and degrade Russiaʼs
ability to equip its war machine and stop those seeking to aid their e orts through
circumvention or evasion of our sanctions and export controls.”
The Department of State is also targeting sanctions evasion and circumvention in multiple
third countries, including several PRC-based companies exporting dual-use goods that fill
critical gaps in Russiaʼs military-industrial base and entities and individuals in Belarus related
to the Lukashenka regimeʼs support for Russiaʼs defense industry. State is also targeting
several senior Russian Ministry of Defense o icials and defense companies and those
supporting Russiaʼs future energy production and exports.

Treasury Takes Aim at Third-Country Sanctions Evaders and Russian Producers Supporting Russia’s Military Industrial …

Thanks to the unprecedented international sanctions regime implemented by the United
States and its global partners, Russia is ever more reliant on complex and expensive
transnational schemes to procure critical technological and manufacturing components and
machinery it needs to create its own weapons production capability. This includes sensitive
dual-use goods such as those cited in the Department of Commerceʼs Bureau of Industry and
Securityʼs multilateral Common High Priority List (CHPL), developed by the United States,
European Union, Japan, and the United Kingdom. Todayʼs action by Treasury disrupts a
number of those schemes by designating more than 120 individuals and entities, including
those involved in illicit procurement networks and the financial facilitators that support them.
Financial facilitators such as trust and corporate formation service providers—several of
which were sanctioned today—are key nodes in sanctions evasion ecosystems, and actions
against them can act as force multipliers by rippling disruptive e ects through multiple
sanctions evasion networks simultaneously.
Many of todayʼs designations were enabled or informed with support from Treasuryʼs Financial
Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).
For more information on these targets, please see Annex 1.

RUSSIAʼS MILITARY-INDUST RIAL B ASE
Treasury is also targeting more than 150 Russia-based defense and related materiel,
technology, manufacturing, and aerospace companies that procure or produce finished
military products or key components, precursors, and machinery that enable Russia to build or
maintain the weaponry it uses against Ukraine.
For more information on these targets, please see Annex 2.
