Despite uncertainty over long-term US support for Ukraine, Joe Biden has said: "Putin must lose." Meanwhile, Russia has reportedly lost over 315,000 troops amid the invasion, according to US intel.
President Joe Biden’s administration has imposed sanctions on over 250 individuals and entities, in connection with Russia’s war in Ukraine.
It is Washington’s latest attempt to crack down on Russia and its evasion of Western-imposed sanctions.
"We will continue to use the tools at our disposal to promote accountability for Russia’s crimes in Ukraine and those who finance and support Russia’s war machine," US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement.
The latest measures targeted a network of entities and people based in China, Russia, Hong Kong and Pakistan over the facilitation and procurement of Chinese-manufactured weapons and technologies to Russia.
They also targeted Turkey, United Arab Emirates and China-based companies over the shipment of technology, equipment and inputs, including ball or roller bearings, aircraft parts and X-ray systems.
