The United States has issued new sanctions against Chinese and Russian entities involved in the production of military arms and goods for use in the war in Ukraine. According to the Treasury Department, the sanctions target two Chinese entities based in Southeast China, one Russian entity, and a Russian individual. These measures come as Chinese and Russian companies are reportedly collaborating to produce long-range attack drones, defying warnings from Washington. Senior administration officials have emphasized that the US will continue to impose costs on those who support Russia’s acquisition of advanced weapons technology. The sanctions include 1 individual and 3 entities based in the PRC and Russia, according to StateDeptSpox.
