The United States has escalated its sanctions regime, targeting various entities associated with Russia and Ecuador. The U.S. Treasury Department announced sanctions against the Ecuadorian criminal group Los Choneros and its leader, citing rising violence in Ecuador. Concurrently, the Treasury issued a 'Price Cap Coalition Compliance and Enforcement Alert' as a warning against attempts to circumvent the Russian oil price cap. Additionally, sanctions were imposed on three entities in the UAE and one in Liberia for violating this price cap on Russian oil. In a related move, the U.S. banned the import of unclassified diamonds and brilliant jewelry from Russia starting March 1, with the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) prohibiting the export of non-industrial diamonds mined in Russia since March 1.
