The European Union has included a Kazakh company in a new package of sanctions against Russia, placing new restrictions on a business involved in trade supplies, Orda.kz reports.
The EU Council approved the 20th package of sanctions against Russia. Brussels said the new measures target the Russian energy sector, the military-industrial complex, trade, the financial sector and cryptocurrencies. In total, the package includes 120 new sanctions listings, making it the largest set in two years.
Kazakhstan appeared in this package through a specific company. The official statement by the EU Council says that 16 organizations from China, the UAE, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Belarus were placed under restrictions. According to Brussels, they supplied dual-use goods or weapons-related systems to Russia’s military-industrial complex.
According to Reuters, this concerns Kazakhstan’s United Trading Group and two employees of the German chemical company UrSeCo Handels. The EU believes they supplied hydrogen chloride to Russia, a substance used in the production of semiconductor wafers.
This is not the first time Kazakh entities have come under European Union restrictions. Earlier, Orda.kz wrote that the EU’s 19th package of sanctions included the Kazakh subsidiary of the Russian bank VTB.
