This action is based on the determination that these persons meet the legal criteria under specific Executive Orders related to harmful activities from the Russian Federation. As a result, all their property and interests within the United States are blocked, and U.S. persons are prohibited from conducting transactions with them. The listed individuals and entities are linked to Russia and China, and are involved in activities such as financial services that have been flagged as risky under U.S. sanctions regulations.

    Simple Explanation
