The United States imposed new sanctions against entities and individuals in China and Russia
The US Treasury Department’s Foreign Assets Control Office announced new sanctions against Russian and Chinese entities and individuals.
According to RCO News Agency, the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the US Treasury Department targeted several Russian and Chinese entities and individuals for new sanctions for “participating in the construction of unmanned drones”.
According to “Sputnik” network, a Russian person named “Artem Yameshchikov”, House Vector company, Chinese company “Redlepus Vector Industry Shenzhen9” and Xiamen Limbach Motor Manufacturing Company are on the new list of US sanctions.
According to a separate statement from the US Department of State, these targets have been sanctioned for allegedly “participating in the construction and development of the Russian Garpia long-range unmanned aerial vehicle.”
According to the alleged statement, Garpia is designed and manufactured in China in cooperation with Russian defense companies and is used by the Russian military in Ukraine.
The US State Department said this is the first time the US has imposed sanctions on Chinese entities that are “directly developing and producing complete weapons systems in partnership with Russian companies.”
On Wednesday, the Chinese embassy in the United States accused Washington of hypocrisy after Julian Smith, the US permanent representative to NATO, claimed that Beijing had “put its thumb on the scales” to help Russia in Ukraine.
Speaking to reporters, the US Permanent Representative to NATO claimed that Beijing is doing its best to convince the world that it can maintain a very neutral position regarding the war in Ukraine.
This diplomat claimed: “But in reality, the People’s Republic of China has chosen a side.” “This country is trying to influence the outcome and has chosen to support Russia in its war in Ukraine.”
He went on to accuse China of helping Russia circumvent sanctions by providing a “long list of dual-use items.”
China, which has friendly relations with Russia, has refused to provide material support to its northern neighbor.
Last month, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told his American counterpart, Anthony Blinken, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, that Beijing is “committed to promoting dialogue for peace” and “trying for a peaceful settlement”. .
Wang Yi stressed, “The United States must stop smearing, slandering and arbitrarily imposing sanctions against China. America is using Ukraine to provoke confrontation and bloc confrontation.
In August, Washington sanctioned more than 400 companies and individuals, including in China, for allegedly helping Russia circumvent US-imposed sanctions.
According to Rasha Today, China unveiled its 12-point road map for peace in Ukraine in 2023 and earlier this year released a new six-point plan jointly with Brazil. Chinese envoys have engaged in diplomacy in hopes of ending the war between Moscow and Kiev.
At the same time, China and Russia have outlined the “strategic” nature of their partnership in recent years, and both nuclear-armed superpowers have voiced their opposition to US “unilateralism.” Also, Russian Defense Minister Andrey Belusov visited Beijing in the past few days and said that Russia and China have a “common assessment” of the world situation.
