The United States Treasury Department announced new sanctions targeting a Russian entity named Andrey Ivanov, a company registered in Russia, along with three foreign entities. The sanctions are linked to the founder of the private military company Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, according to statements released by the department’s press offices. The sanctions program, administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), has expanded to include four companies and one individual connected to Wagner PMC.
The sanctioned entities include DM LLC, Midas Ressources, and Diamville Sau, all registered in the Central African Republic, as well as Industrial Resources General Trading, based in the United Arab Emirates. The Treasury notes that these entities either operate or intend to operate for the benefit of Prigozhin or on his behalf, providing financial or material support to Wagner PMC.
In a separate update, the Treasury also added two Russian individuals to the sanctions list. Yegor Popov and Alexei Sukhodolov appear on the updated roster, though an official reason for their designation was not disclosed in the public release. The announcements reflect the ongoing U.S. government effort to curb activities perceived as supporting the Wagner group and related networks.
These actions illustrate how sanctions agencies identify and constrain entities tied to state-linked or privately led security enterprises. The designation process focuses on entities that enable or finance operations associated with Wagner PMC, and the updates demonstrate ongoing monitoring of international networks that intersect with Russian private military activities.
