The head of the company "Profinet" called US sanctions "by pulling out old underwear"

The General Director of Profinet LLC Vasily Kolchanov, against whom the United States imposed sanctions , criticized Washington’s actions, calling them “pulling out old underwear”.

On the eve of the United States, Russian LLC Profinet and its general director Kolchanov were included in the sanctions list due to cooperation with the DPRK. According to the American Ministry of Finance, the company served at least six times in the port of the court under the flag of the DPRK, including those under sanctions. The company was also accused of proposing her bunning services for the North Korean ships after the imposition of sanctions for the supply of oil by Pyongyan.

"There are a lie about sanctions vessels. They have written about two tankers [from the DPRK]. The sanctions were scheduled in September, and the steamboats left in July. They stood for a month. Oil equipment [" Independent oil and gas company "] did not give them a load. And our business is to arrange a profit with border guards and customs. This is our work. This is our work. “Not us,” said RIA Novosti Kolchanov.

As the general director assured, after imposing sanctions for the supply of oil, North Korean tankers did not go to Russia. Kolchanov believes that the sanctions policy will be very poorly affecting the work of the company and scare away partners. “They will affect the fact that those who worked with us will be afraid to work with us. They will be afraid of the Americans,” he said.

Kolchanov admitted that he did not know how to challenge Washington’s decision, and expressed hope for the help of the state. At the same time, he confirmed that the Profiles continues to work with the courts from the DPRK, as this is not prohibited.

“Five pieces of small, 40 meters come. These are not the vessels about which they write, but small refrigerators that take food. Now have gone - the candy has taken vegetable oil and went. They are taking only food: either milk and oil. What is allowed. We know what sanctions can be exported. You can’t even be exported. told the head of "Profinet".

The situation with "Profinet" on Thursday, August 16, was commented on in the Russian Foreign Ministry. The sanctions imposed by the United States against the Russian company and its leader are based on empty, not backed by facts of accusations, Sergey Ryabkov, deputy head of the foreign ministry, told Interfax .

“Under pressure from this political idol, which is extremely negative to Russia, the United States continues to tighten the sanctioned spiral, apparently, they cannot stop there. Restrictions are stamped under any occasion, without regard to the reality and consequences for bilateral relations,” the diplomat emphasized.
