LIVE UPDATES: First Bulker With Ukrainian Grain Reaches Istanbul

New US sanctions against Russia are further shattering global markets already suffering from supply chain disruptions, Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov said.

On Tuesday, the US expanded sanctions on Russia, including 13 individuals and more than 30 entities on the restrictive list.

"The 'sanctions machine' initiated by Washington continues to 'stamp out' restrictions against Russian business in an attempt to crowd Russia out from global markets. To take the vacant positions at the expense of banal blackmail, and not fair competition. Moreover, many sanctions are duplicated. Apparently, the bureaucracy can't come up with anything new anymore," Antonov said in response to a media question.

"Such 'diligence' of the American authorities further undermines global markets, which are already suffering from significant supply chain disruptions. Hence the risks of further price increases and problems with obtaining the necessary products. The most painful damage will be inflicted on developing countries," he said.

Any mission to the region will require that the IAEA align the positions of Russia and Ukraine, which is "extremely difficult," he explained.

The restrictions have been imposed pursuant to a policy of the Immigration and Nationality Act that restricts visa issuance to individuals who are believed to have supported, been actively complicit in, or been responsible for ordering or otherwise directing or authorizing actions that threaten or violate the sovereignty, territorial integrity, or political independence of Ukraine,, the release added.

The United States has targeted 31 foreign government officials with visa restrictions for their support of Russia's actions to incorporate Crimea, the State Department announced on Tuesday.

"The Department of State is announcing a series of actions to promote accountability for actions by Russian Federation officials and others that implicate violations of Ukraine’s sovereignty to include: Visa restrictions on 31 foreign government officials who have acted to support Russia’s purported annexation of the Crimea region of Ukraine pursuant to a policy under Section 212(a)(3)(C) of INA that restricts visa issuance to those who are believed to have supported, been actively complicit in, or been responsible for ordering or otherwise directing or authorizing actions that threaten or violate the sovereignty, territorial integrity, or political independence of Ukraine," the press release said.

The Ukrainian government plans to evacuate about 220,000 people before winter.

The United States has sanctioned Mariupol Mayor Konstantin Ivashchenko, Kherson Head Volodymyr Saldo and his Deputy leader of the Kherson region Kirill Stremousov, the Treasury Department announced in a release on Tuesday.

The new sanctions target retired Olympic gymnast Alina Kabaeva, Russian Fertilizer Producers Association President Andrey Guryev as well as the Skolkovo Innovation Center, among others, the release said.

"Ukraine has received 1 billion euros from the whole macro-financial aid of 9 billion euros, which was adopted by the European Union. We are expecting to receive 8 more billion euros. Unfortunately, several EU countries, and particularly Germany, are still blocking the review of the issue," Zhovkva told a briefing.

"We expect that the relevant UN structures, ICRC experts, who in May assisted in the evacuation of civilians from the undergrounds of Azovstal [in Mariupol], will not shy away from our invitation to take part in studying this situation," Zakharova told a briefing.
