The United States of America has removed several companies from the sanctions list that previously supplied sanctioned equipment to Russia, including for its military-industrial complex. This is reported by UNN with reference to the US Department of the Treasury.
Details
Also excluded from the sanctions list were the Cypriot company Veles International Limited and its owner Dmytro Buhaenko. The company is a subsidiary of a Moscow investment company, but the Moscow legal entities of this organization remain under sanctions.
Veles International was sanctioned by the US in 2023 for operating in the financial services sector of the Russian economy and working with wealthy Russian private individuals.
