Target of Sectoral Sanctions Order

Answered by:

Question:

The US sanctions that were implemented by E.O. 13622 commonly referred to as “Sectoral Sanctions Identification Lists” arguably had the most bi-lateral international support of any US sanction program at that time (2014). What country was specifically targeted by these very complex sanctions and why?

Answer:

Russia, for their invasion of eastern Ukraine and take over of the Crimean region of Ukraine. The SSI sanction program had over-whelming support from the European Union who issued very similar sanctions against Russia for their imperialistic acts in the Ukraine.
