The USA included 71 companies in the commercial "black list"; including one Armenian

The Biden administration on Friday suspended exports of consumer goods to Russia and placed 71 companies on a trade "blacklist" as the Group of Seven countries announced new sanctions against Moscow over the Ukraine war, Reuters writes.

The new restrictions on Russia concern goods that can be used to help the Russian military. It is noted that 69 Russian enterprises were included in the blocklist, and one company each from Armenia and Kyrgyzstan.

Among the target companies are aircraft repair and spare parts, gunpowder, factories, shipbuilding, and engineering centers in Russia.
