On December 19th 2014 President BARACK OBAMA signed Executive Order 13685 "Blocking Property of Certain Persons and Prohibiting Certain Transactions With Respect to the Crimea Region"
According to the Act the following are prohibited:
- new investment in the Crimea region by a United States person, wherever located
- the importation into the United States, directly or indirectly, of any goods, services, or technology from the Crimea region
- the exportation, reexportation, sale, or supply, directly or indirectly, from the United States, or by a United States person, wherever located, of any goods, services, or technology to the Crimea region
Indeed Sebastopol and Crimea are both quite export oriented. Thanks to the Act our region is dying now. We belive it violates our right to live.
