对俄罗斯权贵、虚假信息渠道和国防企业实施制裁
 
美国国务院
发言人办公室
国务卿安东尼·布林肯声明
2022 年 3 月 3 日  
美国继续与盟友和合作伙伴一致承诺，必将使俄罗斯政府为其侵略乌克兰的行径付出沉重经济和外交代价。我们今天的制裁目标是：俄罗斯权势人物及其金融网络和资产；为加剧乌克兰不稳定局势卖力的俄罗斯主要虚假信息渠道；以及俄罗斯联邦的国防企业，并且对俄罗斯的石油和天然气精炼行业施加进一步出口管制。这些行动清楚表明，那些支持俄罗斯公然对乌克兰发动战争的个人和实体无处躲藏。
国务院和财政部今天采取的行动针对与普京关系密切的俄罗斯最富有的一些权势人物，包括：阿利舍尔·乌斯马诺夫 (Alisher Usmanov)、鲍里斯·阿尔卡迪 (Boris Arkady) 和伊戈尔·罗滕贝格 (Igor Rotenberg)，以及他们的家人和与其有关联的实体。这些行动还针对有影响力的俄罗斯高管，包括：俄罗斯石油管道运输公司 (Transneft) 总裁尼古拉·托卡列夫 (Nikolai Tokarev)，俄罗斯国家技术集团 (Rostec) 首席执行官谢尔盖·切梅佐夫 (Sergei Chemezov)，以及俄罗斯国家开发集团 (VEB.RF) 总裁伊戈尔·舒瓦洛夫 (Igor Shuvalov)。这些个体均是普京总统核心圈子的一部分，他们以牺牲俄罗斯人民的利益为代价中饱私囊，他们的支持协助了普京选择对乌克兰发动战争。 
此外，美国政府的制裁对像还包括那些参与了俄罗斯在全球，包括在乌克兰，散播虚假信息和开展破坏稳定的造势活动的个体。美国国务院根据《第14024号行政命令》 (E.O. 14024) 将俄罗斯联邦首席宣传官和弗拉基米尔·普京的发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫 (Dmitry Peskov) 指定为制裁对像。财政部外国资产控制办公室 (Office of Foreign Assets Control) 将俄罗斯权势人物叶夫根尼·普里戈津 (Yevgeniy Prigozhin) 指定为制裁对象，此人之前​​曾被各种制裁机构列为制裁对象。今天，外国资产控制办公室还将普里戈津的妻子波琳娜 (Polina)、女儿柳博芙 (Lyubov) 和儿子帕维尔 (Pavel) 列入制裁名单，他们在普里戈津的企业中扮演不同的角色。此外，外国资产控制办公室还将与俄罗斯在全球传播虚假信息活动有关的 26 名个体和七个实体列入制裁名单，尤其是那些得到俄罗斯情报部门支持的个体和实体。这些被制裁对象利用号称是合法新闻网站的机构，而实际上为俄罗斯联邦散布虚假信息和宣传极端民族主义。这 33个个体和实体已经根据不同行政命令和法令受到制裁，包括：《第13661号行政命令》(E.O. 13661)、《第13694号行政命令》修订案 (E.O. 13694)、《第13848号行政命令》(E.O. 13848) 以及《美国制裁敌对国家法案》(Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act) 第224(a)(l)(B) 节的有关规定。 
第三，国务院通过制裁 22 家与国防相关的公司，使俄罗斯国防企业付沉重代价。这些影响深远的制裁措施针对那些为俄罗斯军方开发和生产战斗机、步兵战车、电子战系统、导弹和无人机的实体。这些制裁直捣普京战争机器的核心。 
第四，商务部对那些支撑俄罗斯炼油产能的石油和天然气开采设备实施出口管制。由于俄罗斯政府的很大一部分收入来自石油和天然气销售，这些制裁行动将削弱俄罗斯增加收入以支持和维持其军事侵略的能力。这些措施也使美国在这一领域的出口管制与欧盟的出口管制保持一致。 
最后，根据《移民和国籍法》(Immigration and Nationality Act) 第 212(a)(3)(C) 节规定，国务院今天宣布一项新的签证限制政策，限制向某些俄罗斯寡头及其家庭成员和密切合作者发放签证。这些寡头以指令、授权、资助、大力支持或开展恶意活动为俄罗斯破坏稳定的外交政策提供支持而著称。对于那些停止支持和参与俄罗斯政府破坏稳定活动的个体，我们可能会放松此类限制。今天根据这项政策所采取的初步行动是针对 19 名寡头及其 47 名家庭成员和密切合作者。我们将把任何继续代表克里姆林宫支持和开展破坏稳定活动的个体不断增加到这一签证限制政策名单中。我们对盟国和合作伙伴最近采取的类似行动表示欢迎。 
美国赞扬我们在世界各地的盟友和合作伙伴面对俄罗斯对乌克兰的侵略保持齐心协力。我们也为保家卫国英勇作战和经受着俄罗斯无端侵略的乌克兰人民鼓劲。我们坚定地与他们站在一起，并且继续支持乌克兰政府和人民抗击克里姆林宫的侵略，我们坚定地支持乌克兰的主权、独立和领土完整。

Targeting Russian Elites, Disinformation Outlets, and Defense Enterprises

PRESS STATEMENT
ANTONY J. BLINKEN, SECRETARY OF STATE
MARCH 3, 2022
The United States remains united with our allies and partners in our commitment to ensure the Government of Russia pays a severe economic and diplomatic price for its aggression against Ukraine.  Today we are targeting Russian elites and their financial networks and assets, major Russian disinformation outlets that contribute to the destabilization of Ukraine, and defense enterprises of the Russian Federation, as well as imposing additional export controls on Russian oil and gas refining.  These actions make it clear there is nowhere to hide for individuals and entities that support Russia’s flagrant war against Ukraine.
Today’s actions by the Department of State and the Department of the Treasury target some of the wealthiest Russian elites close to Putin:  Alisher Usmanov, Boris Arkady, and Igor Rotenberg, and their family members and entities connected to them.  These actions also target influential Russian executives:  Nikolai Tokarev, President of Transneft; Sergei Chemezov, CEO of Rostec; and Igor Shuvalov, Chairman of VEB.RF.  These individuals, part of President Putin’s inner circle, have enriched themselves at the expense of the Russian people, and their support has facilitated Putin’s war of choice against Ukraine.
Second, the U.S. government is targeting those involved in Russia’s global disinformation and destabilizing influence campaign, including in Ukraine.  The Department of State is designating Dmitry Peskov, the chief propagandist of the Russian Federation and Vladimir Putin’s spokesperson, under E.O. 14024.  The Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assest Control (OFAC) is designating Russian elite Yevgeniy Prigozhin, who has been previously designated under various sanctions authorities.  Today, OFAC also is designating Prigozhin’s wife Polina, daughter Lyubov, and son Pavel, who play various roles in his business enterprise.  In addition, OFAC is designating 26 individuals and seven entities associated with Russia’s global disinformation campaign, particularly those backed by Russian intelligence services.  These targets utilize organizations that purport to serve as legitimate news sites but instead spread disinformation and ultra-nationalist propaganda for the Russian Federation.  These 33 individuals and entities have been designated under various authorities, including E.O. 13661, E.O. 13694, as amended, E.O. 13848, and 224(a)(l)(B) Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (“CAATSA”).
Third, the Department of State is imposing substantial costs on Russia’s defense enterprises by sanctioning 22 defense-related firms.  These far-reaching sanctions target entities that develop and produce fighter aircraft, infantry fighting vehicles, electronic warfare systems, missiles, and unmanned aerial vehicles for Russia’s military.  These sanctions strike at the core of Putin’s war machine.
Fourth, the Department of Commerce is imposing export controls on oil and gas extraction equipment that support Russia’s refining capacity.  Because a significant portion of the Russian government’s revenue comes from the sale of oil and gas, these actions will degrade Russia’s ability to raise revenue to support and sustain its military aggression.  These measures also align U.S. export controls in this area with those of the European Union.
Finally, today the Department of State is announcing a new visa restriction policy to restrict the issuance of visas to certain Russian oligarchs, their family members, and close associates pursuant to Section 212(a)(3)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.  These oligarchs are known to direct, authorize, fund, significantly support, or carry out malign activities in support of Russia’s destabilizing foreign policy.  Restrictions may be lifted for individuals who cease their support for and involvement in the Russian government’s destabilizing activity.  In an initial action under this policy today, we are targeting 19 oligarchs and 47 family members and close associates.  We will continue to add names to this visa restriction policy as long as individuals continue to support and carry out destabilizing activity on behalf of the Kremlin.  We welcome recent similar actions by Allies and partners.
The United States commends the continued support of our allies and partners across the world in the face of the Russian aggression against Ukraine.  We also applaud the bravery of the Ukrainian people who are fighting in defense of their country and those who must endure this unprovoked Russian invasion.  We stand in solidarity with them and will continue to support the government and people of Ukraine in the face of the Kremlin’s aggression, and we are resolute in our support for Ukraine’s sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity.
For more information on today’s action, please see the Department of State’s factsheet and Department of the Treasury’s press release.
