By Daphne Psaledakis and Simon Lewis WASHINGTON, May 19 (Reuters) - The United States on Friday announced sanctions on more than 300 targets as Group of Seven leaders met in Japan, aiming to punish Russia for its invasion of Ukraine and intensifying one of the harshest sanctions efforts ever implemented. The move, which targets Russia's sanctions evasion, future energy revenues and military-industrial supply chains, marks the latest sanctions and export controls targeting Moscow, which have already hit thousands of targets and imposed steep curbs on Russia. "Today´s actions will further tighten the vise on (Russian President Vladimir) Putin´s ability to wage his barbaric invasion and will advance our global efforts to cut off Russian attempts to evade sanctions," U.S. Treasury Department Secretary [https://www.thefreedictionary.com/Janet%20Yellen Janet Yellen] said in a statement. Russia's foreign ministry said former U.S. President Barack Obama was among 500 Americans citizens who would be banned in response to the latest round of U.S. sanctions. The ministry also said Russia had [https://www.gov.uk/search/all?keywords=refused refused] the latest U.S. request for consular access to detained reporter Evan Gershkovich, who faces spying charges.

Experts say Washington could still impose tougher penalties, however - while the sanctions have clearly damaged Russia's economy, they have so far failed to stop Putin from pursuing a war that has killed tens of thousands and turned cities to rubble. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Friday's [https://www.thefreedictionary.com/action%20targeted action targeted] an international network that procures components for the Russia-based entity responsible for the manufacture of the Orlan drone, which Russian forces and their proxies are using in Ukraine. An investigation by Reuters and iStories, a Russian media outlet, in collaboration with the Royal United Services Institute, a defense think tank in London, [https://harvardheroes.harvard.edu/-/?daftar=planet88 bokep indonesia] last year uncovered a logistical trail that spans the globe and ends at the Orlan's production line, the Special Technology Centre in St. Petersburg, Russia. The investigation found that among the most important suppliers to Russia's drone program has been a Hong Kong-based exporter, Asia Pacific Links Ltd, which was targeted by Washington on Friday, as was import company SMT iLogic. HUNDREDS OF TARGETS The Treasury Department said it imposed sanctions on 22 people and 104 entities with touchpoints in over 20 countries or jurisdictions, including companies that import, ship or manufacture electronics components, semiconductors and microelectronics to Russia. As part of its crackdown in recent months on Russia's evasion of sanctions, the Treasury Department designated people and entities in Switzerland, Germany and Liechtenstein on Friday. Among the targets on Friday were Russian intelligence services procurement networks and agents, including in Liechtenstein and the [https://www.buzzfeed.com/search?q=Netherlands Netherlands]. The Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation was also hit with sanctions. Washington has previously warned that the Kremlin has tasked its intelligence services with finding ways to circumvent sanctions to replace equipment lost on the battlefield. The Treasury Department said it was also imposing sanctions on Russia´s energy educational and research institutions in a bid to "limit Russia´s future extractive capabilities" by targeting the training grounds for Russia´s future energy specialists, and sites where new extraction technologies are developed. Additionally, the Treasury implemented a requirement for Americans to report any property in their possession or control in which Russia's Central Bank, National Wealth Fund or Ministry of Finance has an interest. The State Department also designated or blocked property of almost 200 individuals, entities, vessels and aircraft and imposed sanctions on Polyus and the Russian business of its peer, Polymetal - the largest gold producers in Russia. Polymetal declined to comment. Polyus did not reply to a request for comment. Subsidiaries of Russia's state-owned nuclear energy company Rosatom were also targeted. Washington has not imposed sanctions on Rosatom itself. The State Department also designated two [https://www.behance.net/search/projects/?sort=appreciations&time=week&search=Iranian%20shipping Iranian shipping] companies, a port operator and a maritime service provider it said were part of deepening ties between Russia and Iran. U.S. sanctions authorities were also expanded to more sectors of the Russian economy, including architecture, manufacturing and construction, the Treasury said. The [https://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/search.html?sel=site&searchPhrase=Biden%20administration Biden administration] also halted the export of wide range of consumer goods to Russia on Friday and added 71 companies to a Commerce Department's list that bars suppliers from selling them U.S. technology without a hard-to-obtain license. Dan Fried, a former State Department coordinator for sanctions policy who is now at the Atlantic Council think tank, said Friday's action was a broad and impactful sanctions package, but that further action to escalate could still be taken, including further sanctions on banks and a reduction of the oil price cap. "At first glance, this is a solid list, not a dramatic escalation," Fried said.

US State Department apos;s Top China Policy Official To Step Down

By [https://app.photobucket.com/search?query=Michael%20Martina Michael Martina] and Humeyra Pamuk WASHINGTON, May 24 (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department's top [https://lerablog.org/?s=China%20policy China policy] official Rick Waters is set to step down at a time of fraught relations between Washington and Beijing. Waters, deputy assistant secretary of State for China and Taiwan who leads the department's recently created China House policy division, will leave his role on June 23 and remain a member of the senior foreign service, according to a State Department spokesperson. Waters announced his intention to leave his post at a staff meeting earlier on Wednesday, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. "We thank him for his two years of skillful service on China and Taiwan issues, to include his standing up the Office of China Coordination and his leadership over the Office of Taiwan Coordination," the spokesperson said in a statement. Waters did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Reuters reported two weeks ago that the State Department delayed human rights-related sanctions, export controls and other [http://dig.ccmixter.org/search?searchp=sensitive%20action sensitive action] to try to limit damage to the U.S.-China relationship after an alleged Chinese spy balloon traversed the United States in February. The report referenced an email Waters sent to staff that relayed instructions to postpone some actions so the department could focus on a "symmetric and calibrated response" to the balloon. Relations between the world's two largest economies are at their worst in decades, according to many analysts, as the strategic rivals clash over issues ranging from Taiwan to trade. "China House is already strengthening the administration´s work to advance a free and open Indo-Pacific and out-compete China," said Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Daniel J. Kritenbrink. "There are few people in the U.S. government who understand the PRC (People's Republic of China) better than Rick Waters, and standing up China House under his leadership will be a lasting legacy. Rick is a strategic thinker who has skillfully advanced U.S. policy on China," said Kritenbrink, adding that the State Department is in the process of choosing Waters' successor. President Joe Biden's administration has sought high-level meetings with China in an effort to keep ties from veering toward conflict, particularly since the [http://www.techandtrends.com/?s=diplomatic%20crisis diplomatic crisis] over the balloon's flight past sensitive U.S. military sites. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken postponed a planned February trip to China after the balloon incident, but the White House has said efforts are continuing to facilitate visits by Blinken, as well as Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo. Waters has [https://healthtian.com/?s=led%20China led China] House - officially the Office of China Coordination - since it was launched in December as a reorganization of the department's China desk to sharpen policies. He has served as deputy assistant secretary for [https://sibelaku.kulonprogokab.go.id/pages/?tunnel=PLANET88 penipu] about two years. Some Biden administration critics have questioned U.S. overtures to China, arguing that past decades of engagement have failed to change its line on a range of trade, security and human rights issues. Congressman Mike McCaul, the Republican chair of the House of Representative's Foreign Affairs Committee, cited the Reuters report in a letter he sent to Blinken dated May 19, demanding information related to actions toward China. "For the U.S. to succeed in its strategic competition with the PRC, it is essential that it be willing to unflinchingly hold the PRC accountable for its aggression and malfeasance, and that it be well-organized and effective in doing so," McCaul wrote. The Biden administration has recently seen other changes among senior officials focused on China. U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, who has driven much of the department's approach toward China, announced on May 12 that she is retiring. And a former top official for China on Biden's National Security Council, Laura Rosenberger, stepped down this year to head a U.S. government-run nonprofit that manages unofficial relations with Chinese-claimed Taiwan.
