The State Department posted a notice to this effect on Monday, August 9, in the Federal Register, a collection of official U.S. government documents.
The companies in question are the research and production enterprise Pulsar, Charter Green Light Moscow, and Asia-Invest.
As follows from this document, the decision on sanctions came into force on July 29. The blacklist also includes companies from Iraq and Syria.
The sanctions are valid for two years but can be shortened or terminated by a decision of the U.S. secretary of state.
