U.S. issues new sanctions against Russia’s weapons program
The United States has imposed new sanctions targeting Russia’s weapons program. Action by the Treasury and State Departments takes aim at hundreds of companies and people tied to Russia’s weapons development program. The sanctions also penalize more than a dozen Chinese entities accused of helping Moscow evade earlier sanctions. Individuals linked to the death of Kremlin opposition leader Alexei Navalny are also targeted by the U-S. A statement from the Treasury secretary said the action “will further disrupt and degrade Russia’s war efforts” against Ukraine.
