The sanctions also affect entities from China, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Turkey, and the UAE. The Treasury Department's measures, detailed on its website, include sanctions against 275 individuals and legal entities from 17 countries, including India, UAE, China, Switzerland, Thailand, and Turkey, for supplying technology to Russia's military industry.
