Supplying Russia with drone components, the US blacklists 28 companies from Europe and Asia

The US has imposed new trade restrictions on 11 Chinese and five Russian firms, accusing some of supplying components to make drones for Moscow's military.

The Commerce Department, which oversees export policy, added a total of 28 companies, including some from Finland and Germany, to a trade blacklist, making it harder for US suppliers to send them technology.

Nine of the companies, including China's Asia Pacific Links Ltd and Russia's SMT-iLogic, allegedly took part in a scheme to supply the previously blacklisted Special Technology Center with drone parts for the Russian General Directorate of General Intelligence general.

" We will not hesitate to take swift and meaningful action against those who continue to seek to supply and support Putin's illegal and immoral war in Ukraine ," said Alan Estevez, the department's chief of export controls.
