The review found that in the decades since 2001, the number of sanctions on Russia has increased by 933%of the United States, and this number will only continue to grow as the United States has imposed sanctions on Russia due to the US conflict.

As a result, the hitting surface of US sanctions became larger and larger, the goals became more and more complicated, and the sanctions rules became more and more complicated. The Foreign Asset Control Office (OFAC) of the Ministry of Finance is currently implementing at least 37 sanctions projects, and about 12,000 individuals and entities are listed as their sanctions objects.

Even in some special circumstances, the US government's policy requires private companies to conduct some form of activities, and it is difficult for related companies to obtain permits and just want to stay away from any area with sanctions.
