In addition, the parties want to take measures to ensure that their sanctions do not interfere with the provision of humanitarian assistance within the framework of UN programs
WASHINGTON, June 9. /tass/. The US and UK authorities intend to intensify data exchange to identify individuals and legal entities against whom sanctions may be imposed for assisting the Russian Armed Forces in conducting a special military operation in Ukraine. This is stated in the declaration distributed on Thursday by the White House press service after the meeting of American President Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in Washington.
As follows from the document, the parties intend to intensify cooperation in the "strategy on sanctions, on their development, selection of goals, implementation and monitoring of compliance." The US and UK authorities intend to jointly resolve issues related to circumvention of restrictive measures, and plan to "jointly impose restrictions on those who assist Russia" in conducting their own. We are talking about individuals in the Russian Federation, Belarus and third countries, including those who "help Russia to purchase goods and technologies" for military needs.
As specified in the text, the parties intend to "expand the possibilities for collecting, analyzing and exchanging information" between the structures responsible for sanctions, companies and financial institutions. It is planned that this will be done in order to "identify firms and individuals who provide financial support or make payments for the Russian military machine."
Washington and London also intend to take measures to ensure that their sanctions do not hinder the provision of humanitarian assistance within the framework of UN programs, the document states.
