The United States issued fresh sanctions on Wednesday on several Russia-based entities over their involvement in the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, the State Department said, including new measures against the operator of the project, APA reports citing Reuters.
The U.S. State Department said in a statement it was re-imposing sanctions on a number of entities involved in the construction of the pipeline that were already designated, as well as several new owners of vessels already under sanctions.
Among those targeted on Wednesday were Russia-based marine services and water transport entities, the state-owned maritime rescue service and over a dozen vessels, the State Department said.
Also targeted was Nord Stream 2 AG, the operator of the project, and a Russia-based insurer that provided insurance to companies involved in the project, the State Department said.
