US warns Kazakhstan of possible sanctions due to ties with RussiaThe risks of the US applying secondary sanctions against Kazakhstan for cooperating with Russia to circumvent restrictions imposed are growing now, said Tuesday in Astana US Treasury Assistant Secretary Elizabeth Rosenberg, who is responsible for countering financial crimes.
She warned the risks are rising not only against the country, but also against Kazakhstani companies and banks.
Rosenberg said the two countries need to take seriously the fact that Russia is trying hard to evade both sanctions and export control measures. In her opinion, Moscow has succeeded quite well.
Rosenberg added that the US is working with its Kazakhstani government and private sector counterparts to be clear about the risks and consequences of Russia's assistance in evading sanctions and export controls.
