According to the document, the sides intend to ramp up their partnership "across sanctions strategy, design, targeting, implementation and enforcement." American and British authorities intend to jointly tackle issues of sanctions evasion and plan to "jointly target those facilitating" Russia’s special military operation "in Russia, Belarus, and in third countries, including those who help Russia acquire goods and technology that support Russian" military effort.
