Excerpt From Speech By US Deputy Secretary Of The Treasury Wally Adeyemo At The Council On Foreign Relations On International Sanctions On Russia

Date 18/02/2023

One year on, our economic tools are constraining Russia. Our sanctions and export controls—implemented in partnership with the Department of Commerce—have degraded Russia’s ability to replace more than 9,000 pieces of military equipment lost since the start of the war, forced production shutdowns at key defense-industrial facilities, and caused shortages of essential components for tanks, aircraft, and submarines. Russia is running out of serviceable munitions and has probably lost as much as 50 percent of its supply of tanks. While the U.S. and our allies have provided Ukraine with state-of-the-art military equipment like M1 Abrams tanks, Russia has been forced to turn to mothballed Soviet-era equipment. Going forward, our export controls will continue to prevent Russia from accessing the equipment and parts needed to make up for these losses, and our economic and financial sanctions will make it harder for Putin to use the resources Russia can access to pay for new weapons.
