Deputy Secretary Adeyemo referred to the sanctions on Russian defense companies announced by the U.S. Treasury on the 24th, saying, "We plan to take measures to block the operation of key supply chains of Vladimir Putin's regime."

He also indicated that the additional sanctions could include alternative suppliers of military materials used by Russia. However, he did not mention specific methods or timing.
