US imposed sanctions against a Russian institute with a longevity faculty

The US Treasury Department announced the imposition of sanctions against 15 individuals and ten legal entities, including the Moscow European Institute of YUSTO and its rector Dmitry Soin.

According to the US Treasury, YUSTO University and its rector Soin sponsored student visas for construction workers from the DPRK in Russia. Some of these workers were associated with an organization related to Korean weapons of mass destruction. The sanctions were imposed for the “exploitation of workers from the DPRK.”

YUSTO has a law and economics faculty, as well as a management faculty and a department of active longevity and adaptive physical culture, where courses of aromatherapy and herbal medicine are conducted, RBC reports.

Possible US sanctions against Russia in connection with the situation in Ukraine will go beyond the previous options, a senior representative of the American administration told reporters earlier.

According to him, the United States, together with its European partners, “are seeking a very strong set of economic sanctions.” According to the official, “some of them will include things that have not been done in the past.”
