https://lnkd.in/dDiPkxyx Treasury Takes Aim at Third-Country Sanctions Evaders and Russian Producers Supporting Russia’s Military Industrial Base! The U.S. Treasury has ramped up its efforts to isolate Russia’s military supply chains by targeting third-country actors aiding Moscow in sidestepping sanctions. In its latest move, the Treasury has sanctioned a Greek entity for allegedly acting as a key intermediary, funneling resources to Russian companies tied to the military-industrial complex. This step signals Washington’s commitment to tightening the sanctions net beyond Russia’s borders, focusing on external facilitators who have helped sustain the war effort by masking their transactions or circumventing direct sanctions. By zeroing in on these enablers, the U.S. aims to disrupt the logistical and financial networks propping up Russia’s war machine.#sanctions #ofac

Amidst #Russia🇷🇺's full-scale invasion of #Ukraine🇺🇦 and the subsequent imposition of global sanctions, there has been a significant decline in #Russian #weapons #exports, as reported by the #SIPRI think tank. The repercussions of these geopolitical events have reverberated across the arms trade landscape, leading to a notable shift in purchasing patterns and preferences among potential buyers. In 2019, Moscow maintained arms exports to 31 countries, showcasing its robust presence in the global arms market. However, in the wake of recent developments, this figure has dwindled drastically, with only 12 countries receiving major arms shipments from Russia last year. Western sanctions targeting the Kremlin have emerged as a pivotal factor driving this downturn, prompting several governments to seek alternative sources for their defense procurement needs. This shift underscores the evolving dynamics within the international arms trade domain, with geopolitical tensions and sanctions exerting tangible effects on the strategic choices. As the landscape continues to evolve, stakeholders across the arms industry will need to navigate these complexities adeptly to adapt to the changing #geopolitical realities and sustain their competitive edge in the global market.

🔀 Russia Sanctions - Fighting the supply chain 🔀 Dismantling structured supply networks is one of the solution to stop/slow down supplies in arms and strategic goods to Russia. That's how we should read the latest US sanctions targeting North Korean and Russian entities. Long is the road, and we can observe how these countries use other means to counter these initiatives in attempting to weaken some countries pushing for more sanctions/action against the agression. A new cold war, above 2.0, given the assymetrical means used globally. #sanctions #warfare #DPRK #trade https://lnkd.in/dCQBfqrt

As Ukraine’s resistance against Russia’s war of aggression enters its third year, the focus has been on battlefield victories and defeats. However, the impact of Western-imposed sanctions, led by NATO-aligned states, on Russia’s economy and military capabilities is less visible but significant. These sanctions, some of the most severe in history, aim to compel an end to Putin’s war. Access the paper From Yesterday to Tomorrow: the Dynamic Story of International Sanctions on the Russian Federation and Their Effectiveness, which investigates the efficacy of Western-led sanctions regimes against the Russian Federation. https://lnkd.in/dqQpFV36 This research paper was written by participants of the SURF program.

Oil Procurement Breach: A new report reveals that North Korea imported over 1 million barrels of oil from Russia between March and October, breaching UN sanctions. Satellite images and tracking data confirm more than 40 trips by North Korean tankers to Russia’s Vostochny port. UN Sanctions and Violations: North Korea is restricted to importing just 500,000 barrels of refined petroleum annually under UN Security Council resolutions. This growing evidence of violations reflects ongoing concerns over the effectiveness of sanctions enforcement. North Korea-Russia Alliance Strengthens: The growing alliance between North Korea and Russia is evident in Putin’s recent visit to Pyongyang and the military agreements made during the meeting. International observers have raised concerns over North Korea’s support for Russia’s military efforts in Ukraine. Challenges to Global Security: North Korea’s actions, including continued sanctions violations and its military partnership with Russia, pose a significant challenge to regional and global security. As international tensions rise, enforcing UNSC resolutions becomes an increasingly difficult task. 🌐 Stay informed on this topic by visiting our website https://lnkd.in/gxkqG2aY #swifteradio #walltowall #diasporaradio #ImmigrantRadio #africansindiaspora #nigeriansindiaspora #DiasporaImmigrant
