The media reported on the weakening of US control over compliance with anti-Russian sanctions

The United States has shown minimal activity in the allied working groups created to combat attempts to circumvent sanctions against Russia. This was reported by Bloomberg on March 21.

"The United States was largely absent from several working groups set up by the allies to quell attempts to circumvent sanctions imposed on the Kremlin," the publication says.

According to the agency, American representatives have often stopped participating in initiatives aimed at preventing the supply of spare parts and equipment allegedly for the production of weapons, as well as in groups involved in monitoring and compliance with the established ceiling on prices for Russian oil.

Bloomberg noted that European officials are still unable to determine whether the decline in U.S. participation is related to political decisions or the result of a lack of time and qualified personnel.
