During an official visit to South Africa, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned on Friday that the US would respond very quickly and harshly to violations of anti-Russian sanctions, regardless of the nature of the entity breaching the sanctions. 

"Vi­o­la­tion of those sanc­tions by lo­cal busi­ness or by gov­ern­ments—we would re­spond to quickly and harshly and we cer­tainly urge that there be com­pli­ance with those sanc­tions," Yellen said during a press conference in South Africa.  

She also said in response to a previous question that she had discussed the US sanctions regime with the officials of every country she visited during her tour in Africa. 

"We have discussed sanctions really in every country that I’ve visited and my main message is that we take very seriously the sanctions that we’ve placed on Russia in response to its brutal invasion of Ukraine," she said.  

Yellen is currently on a tour across the African continent as part of the Biden administration's efforts to balance

On Friday, Lavrov said that the West is seeking to restore Africa's colonial dependence as they attempt to break the continent's cooperation with Russia.

"With a persistence worthy of better application, [American, British, and EU states] require African countries not to cooperate with the Russian Federation, not to go against a general discipline, by which they, the West, understand the restoration of colonial dependence, by and large, but already in a new form," Lavrov told journalists after a visit to Eritrea.

Since the start of the conflict, Russia continued to made food deliveries, as well as fertilizers, and energy to Africa as the West was seeking to undermine cooperation via anti-Russian sanctions.
