The US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has expanded its Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list, adding companies and individuals from various countries, including Russia, Serbia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Azerbaijan, for assisting the Russian military or circumventing existing sanctions. This move aligns with the second anniversary of the Ukraine war and concerns related to Alexey Navalny’s death, highlighting a broad international effort to tighten sanctions against Russia and its allies.
