In the face of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, supporters gathered near the White House in Washington, US to protest. The demonstrators expressed their solidarity with Ukraine and called for an end to the ongoing conflict.
In response to concerns that American commodities could be used to support Russia’s military efforts in Ukraine, the US has requested that over 600 foreign parties cease exporting these supplies. The goal is to prevent these materials from being transferred to Russia and used in its invasion of Ukraine.
The US Commerce Department sent letters to at least 20 corporations that produce and market parts used in drones and missiles found in Ukraine. The aim is to disrupt Russia’s military operations and limit its access to Western technologies. Despite the sanctions imposed by the US and other nations on Moscow, American components have been discovered in Russian weapons left on the battlefield in Ukraine.
Assistant Secretary Matthew Axelrod stated that US officials from various departments are working with companies to prevent their products from being used by Russia in the conflict. The US is taking steps to ensure that American businesses are not inadvertently contributing to Russia’s military efforts in Ukraine.
