The US Treasury reported that the authorities have imposed a ban on servicing a number of services in Russia, borders with information technology and cloud services.
In addition, the sanctions list includes 30 people and 200 representatives from Russia and China, as well as companies related to IT and aviation. Thus, the Moscow Exchange, the SOGAZ insurance company, the Arctic LNG 1 and Arctic LNG 3 projects, and Gazprom Invest were included here.
[Обновлено в 17:49] Restrictions related to cloud technologies apply only to legal entities, based on the text of the regulations of the US Treasury and the US Department of Industry and Trade.
To implement this policy, the Treasury, in consultation with the Department of State, adopted a new definition under Executive Order 14071 that prohibits any entity in the Russian Federation from establishing (1) IT consulting and design services; and (2) IT support services and cloud services for enterprise management software and design and manufacturing software. Determination of effective date September 12, 2024.
U.S. officials support the free flow of information and communications around the world, and these actions are not intended to restrict society and telecommunications. Despite the new prohibitions, OFAC continues to authorize mobile telecommunications and Internet transactions, as well as humanitarian operations, under 6D and 25D general licenses, which mitigate the impact on Russian civil society and protect public access to information and communications technology.
