The Trump administration on Tuesday announced new sanctions on one Russian company, one Slovakian company, and two Russian individuals for efforts to circumvent previous U.S. sanctions, Reuters reports.
The Treasury Department imposed the sanctions after discovering that the entities were helping a Russian company called Divetechnoservices, which was sanctioned in June for providing the Russian government with underwater equipment that aided the Kremlin's federal security and intelligence agency. The individuals sanctioned also helped Divetechnoservices evade its previous sanctions, the department said.
