Manipulative messages are circulating online claiming that U.S. President Donald Trump has supposedly fully lifted sanctions against Russian banks and companies, including the state-owned firm Rosoboronexport

The Center for Countering Disinformation reports this.
“The U.S. presidential decree of June 30, 2025, cited in these messages, actually concerned the removal of the Syrian sanctions list. Meanwhile, restrictions related to the war against Ukraine and cooperation with Iran remain unchanged,” the Center for Countering Disinformation emphasized.
They noted that some Russian companies were indeed removed from the Syrian sanctions list, but the vast majority remain on the Ukrainian and Iranian lists.
“Rosoboronexport and all other Russian legal entities and individuals supporting the war against Ukraine remain under U.S. sanctions,” the Center concluded.
- On July 1, it was reported that the U.S. Congress will not vote on the new sanctions package against Russia before July 7.
