Currently, the risk of secondary sanctions against Kazakh banks and companies for cooperating with Russia in circumventing the restrictions imposed against it is increasing. This was announced in Astana by Elizabeth Rosenberg, assistant to the head of the US Department of Finance, which is responsible for the fight against financial crimes.
He added that the American side communicates with Kazakh partners, the government, and private sector representatives to identify the existing risks, "as well as the consequences that may arise in helping Russia in evading sanctions and export control."
