The U.S. Department of the Treasury has imposed additional sanctions on about 130 companies and individuals from third countries, including China and T?rkiye, that assisted Russia in conducting its war after invading Ukraine.

On the 2nd (local time), the Treasury announced that it added approximately 130 entities and individuals located in China, T?rkiye, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Mongolia, Switzerland, and other countries to its sanctions list. These companies and individuals supported Russia in acquiring equipment necessary for its attack on Ukraine.

T?rkiye official Berg T?rken and his companies provided payment and transportation support to help Russia circumvent sanctions and import supplies from T?rkiye. UAE's ARX Financial Engineering was found to have assisted in ruble remittances and dollar exchanges held by the Russian VTB Bank, which is subject to U.S. sanctions.

As a result, the total number of individuals and entities sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury, including Russian companies and individuals, has increased to 37 persons and 192 entities, according to Russian local media.

Additionally, the U.S. Department of State has also sanctioned companies that designed and manufactured suicide drones used by the Russian military in the Ukraine war.

The U.S. Department of Commerce separately has imposed export control measures on 13 companies from Russia and Uzbekistan for actions contrary to U.S. national security and foreign policy interests.
