U.S. Imposes Sanctions on Chinese Drone Makers and Russian Partners for Supplying Weapons Systems to Moscow Amid Ukraine War

The U.S. has imposed sanctions on two Chinese drone suppliers and their Russian partners for supplying complete weapons systems to Moscow. This marks the first time Chinese companies were penalized for arms-related involvement in Russia’s war against Ukraine. The Treasury Department accused the companies of producing and shipping long-range drones used by Russia in the conflict. China denied the accusations, asserting that it manages military exports responsibly.
