US designates alleged Russian sanctions evasion network

The Biden administration blacklisted nearly two dozen entities Wednesday that it said have been involved in aiding Russia evade US sanctions. 

In all, 22 individuals and entities in multiple countries were placed under US sanctions, including Russia- and Cyprus-based arms dealer Igor Vladimirovich Zimenkov. The Treasury Department said he runs a network that facilitates Russian arms sales and equipment procurement, after the West imposed sweeping restrictions following Moscow's war against Ukraine.
