United States imposes nearly 300 new sanctions on Russia’s military-industrial base and third-country support

The U.S. Department of the Treasury today announced further actions to degrade Russia’s ability to sustain its war against Ukraine by targeting Russia’s military-industrial base and chemical and biological weapons programs, as well as companies and individuals in third countries that help Russia acquire key inputs for weapons or defense-related production.

According to today’s Treasury release, the United States is particularly concerned about entities based in China and other third countries that provide critical inputs to Russia’s military-industrial base. This support enables Russia to continue its war against Ukraine and poses a significant threat to international security.

The almost 300 targets being sanctioned by both Treasury and the Department of State include sanctions on dozens of actors that have enabled Russia to acquire technology and equipment from abroad.
