“On September 10, the United States imposed sanctions on Andrii Derkach and other Russian agents for attempting to influence the U.S. electoral process. Derkach maintains close connections with the Russian Intelligence Services and has served as an active Russian agent for over a decade, employing manipulation and deceit to attempt to influence elections in the United States and elsewhere around the world. Today, we would like to remind individuals and businesses what these sanctions mean.
“We sometimes receive the question, ‘If I often do business with someone who is subject to sanction, should I be concerned?’ The answer is yes. Persons who provide material support to designated individuals and/or entities could themselves become subject to designation.
