Antony J. Blinken, Secretary of State<\/p>\n

The Russian Federation has demonstrated determination in its attempts to undermine the democratic processes and institutions essential to the functioning of our democracy and that of other countries.\u00a0 It is crucial for our democracy, and democracies around the globe, to hold free and fair elections without malign outside interference.<\/p>\n

In response, the United States is sanctioning two individuals and four entities that support the Kremlin\u2019s global malign influence operations and election interference activities.\u00a0 This action is separate and distinct from the broad range of measures the United States and its allies and partners continue to impose on Russia\u2019s economy and financial system in response to its unlawful invasion of Ukraine, which constitutes another clear example of Russia\u2019s disregard for the sovereignty and political independence of other states.<\/p>\n

The sanctioned individuals and entities played various roles in Russia\u2019s attempts to manipulate the United States and our allies and partners, including Ukraine.\u00a0 This action follows a series of designations aimed to expose and disrupt Russia\u2019s persistent election interference and destabilization efforts against Ukraine.\u00a0 The United States will continue to act to deter and disrupt these efforts to safeguard our democracy, as well as help protect the democracies of our allies and partners.<\/p>\n

For more information on today\u2019s actions, please see the\u00a0Department of the Treasury\u2019s\u00a0press release\u00a0<\/a>.<\/p>\n
