WASHINGTON, July 20 (Reuters) - The United States on Thursday imposed Russia-related sanctions against nearly 120 people and entities aimed at blocking Moscow's access to electronics and other goods that aid its war against Ukraine, the Treasury and State departments announced.

The new measures also are designed to "reduce Russia’s revenue from the metals and mining sector, undermine its future energy capabilities and degrade Russia’s access to the international financial system," Treasury said in a statement.

"Today's actions represent another step in our efforts to constrain Russia’s military capabilities, its access to battlefield supplies, and its economic bottom line," Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo said in the statement.

Russia's embassy in Washington called the latest sanctions part of the "endless attacks" by U.S. President Joe Biden's administration "in the context of the hybrid war unleashed by the West against our country."

The White House's "destructive actions" confirmed Russia's policy of boosting its "defense capability and financial and technological sovereignty" and leave no alternative "to speeding up the process of decoupling the dollar from worldwide economic relations," an embassy statement said.

The United States and other Western allies have provided Ukraine with tens of billions of dollars in weaponry and military hardware to defend itself following Russia's February 2022 invasion. Western allies deny Moscow's claims that they want to destroy Russia, which they accuse of an unprovoked, imperial land grab in Ukraine.

The State Department said those targeted included a Russian and a North Korean national - Yong Hyok Rim - linked to Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner mercenary organization, for helping to supply munitions to Russia.

Two other private Russian military companies were targeted, including Okhrana, owned by Kremlin-controlled energy company Gazprom.
