After Moscow invaded Russia in 2022, the United States and more than 30 other countries imposed a series of sanctions aimed at reducing Russia's ability to wage war by cutting off access to Western technology.

Over the past few weeks, we have sent letters to more than 20 U.S. companies, each containing a list of more than 600 foreign parties. In the letters, we asked the U.S. companies to voluntarily cease shipments to these parties due to the high risk of transshipment to Russia
