Six companies were punished for supporting the Russian military industry. The companies violated the sanctions regime, which came into force after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The United States Department of Commerce has included 36 companies from nine countries in a list of entities restricted from accessing US technology and goods for violating US international sanctions laws. 25 companies are based in China, the remaining 11 – in Russia, the UAE, Lithuania, Pakistan, Singapore, Great Britain, Uzbekistan and Vietnam.
Six companies were punished for supporting Russia’s military industry, thus violating the sanctions regime that came into force after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Also, the Russian company of analytical systems and technologies LLC Intertech Instruments was punished for illegal supply of Iranian products.
The trade ministry said Chinese companies that had been ‘blacklisted’ had supplied goods of concern to Russia before the invasion. And after that, they continued to supply Russian companies, against which the United States and its allies imposed sanctions.
At the same time, the Chinese embassy in the United States stated that Beijing does not provide military assistance to Russia or Ukraine.
It will be recalled that the United States has expanded sanctions against Russia – the list includes dozens of new organizations, individuals and legal entities. They also imposed a ban on imports of Russian gold.
