We are talking about companies that manufacture and sell products found in missiles and drones launched at Ukraine.
Addendum Addendum
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. However, American components continue to be found in Russian weapons left on the battlefield in Ukraine.
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
