The US Department of the Treasury has extended sanctions on Russian Federal Security Service and main intelligence directorate.
US President Donald Trump signed CAATSA into law in August after Congress passed the measure in response to allegations that Russia sought to influence the 2016 US presidential election.
In January, the Trump administration started imposing new sanctions under CAATSA regarding significant transactions with Russian defense and intelligence sectors.
Russia has also faced allegations of attempts to influence US public life, in particular, to meddle in the country’s 2016 presidential election campaign.
