America imposed ban on 15 Indian companies, know the reason
The US has imposed sanctions on 275 people and entities, including 15 Indian companies, for allegedly supporting Russia’s military-industrial establishments. The US Treasury Department said in a statement on Thursday that sanctions have also been imposed on companies from China, Switzerland, Thailand and Turkey. The reason for this is that these companies are providing advanced technology and equipment to Russia, which Russia is using to run its war machinery.

America also took action on Wednesday
Earlier on Wednesday, the US announced sanctions on about 400 entities and individuals for promoting Russia’s war against Ukraine. According to the statement, apart from disrupting the global tax evasion network, domestic Russian importers and producers of key information and other materials for Russia’s military-industrial establishments have also been targeted under this action. Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo said, “The United States and our allies will continue to take decisive action around the world to stop the flow of critical equipment and technologies needed by Russia for its illegal and immoral war against Ukraine.”
America firm on resolve
He said, “This action makes it clear that we are firm in our resolve to reduce Russia’s ability to equip its war machinery and stop those who try to help it by ignoring or evading our sanctions and export controls.” The US State Department has also targeted sanctions evasion and fraud in several third-party countries. These include several companies based in China that export dual-use goods that help meet Russia’s military-industrial needs. The US has also imposed sanctions on several senior officials of the Russian Defense Ministry and defense companies and companies supporting Russia’s future energy production and exports.
