Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo highlighted the United States’ commitment to cutting off the supply of critical technologies that Russia relies on to sustain its war. The Treasury Department sanctioned 274 entities, while the State Department designated over 120 individuals and groups. Further, the Commerce Department added 40 companies and research institutions to its restricted trade list, citing suspected support of the Russian military.
A key focus of these sanctions is on blocking exports of “Common High Priority Items”—advanced components essential for military use. U.S. officials have expressed mounting concerns over increased exports of such goods from India to Russia, suggesting that actions against specific companies may follow.
Among the Indian firms sanctioned was Futrevo, cited for allegedly supplying high-priority items to a Russian manufacturer of Orlan drones. This action sends a clear warning that the U.S. will take decisive steps against any nation or company facilitating the supply of critical technologies that may fuel the conflict in Ukraine.
