WASHINGTON: The US slapped sanctions Thursday (Sep 15) on a long list of Russian officials and companies, ramping up pressure over the invasion of Ukraine and hoping to hobble any attempt to rebuild

Top officials overseeing Russian securities markets operations, a neo-Nazi fighter group, Russian and pro-Russian officials in occupied parts of Ukraine, and a children's rights official who allegedly directs the removal of Ukrainian children to Russia were all named to the US sanctions blacklist.

And five Russian officials were blacklisted for allegedly supporting or enabling the theft by Russians of Ukrainian grain. US Treasury sanctions aim to freeze any assets those designated might have under US jurisdiction and forbid any US individuals or companies - including international banks with US operations - to do business with them, effectively limiting their access to global financial networks.
