The United States imposed new sanctions against Russia because of hostilities in Ukraine, including because of the situation in Buch . This was reported on the White House website.

In particular, complete blocking sanctions are introduced against Sberbank and Alfa-Bank. This means that all assets of banks related to the US financial system will be frozen, and American citizens will ban cooperation with organizations. Earlier, immediately after the start of the military operation in Ukraine, Sberbank was already included in the USA on the Capta list (then restrictions were imposed only on correspondent accounts for interbank operations, and not on assets). The tightening of measures was expected: for example, this was written about this by The Wall Street Journal with reference to American officials.

Sberbank after the introduction of new sanctions said that restrictions will not significantly affect its work. Alfa-Bank said they continued to work as usual, but suspend calculations with counterparties from the United States.

In addition, the United States prohibits all investments in the Russian Federation. The details are not specified, but the ban on new investments will affect all US citizens, wherever they are, they say in the White House.
