The U.S. on Friday added 71 entities to a trade blacklist for allegedly supporting Russia, as the Group of Seven nations announced new sanctions on Moscow over its conflict with Ukraine.
The U.S. Commerce Department action targets support for Russia's military and expands the scope of export controls on Russia and Belarus. The blacklist includes 69 Russian entities, one from Armenia and one from Kyrgyzstan.
The new export controls target oil and gas projects in Russia and Belarus, the department stated.
