Protestors Gather to Stop US Businesses from Exporting Commodities to Russia during War; Sanctions Imposed and Letters Sent to Corporations

In response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, supporters gathered near the White House in Washington, US to protest. The US is taking action to prevent American businesses from exporting commodities to foreign parties that may transfer them to Russia for use in the conflict.

Letters have been sent to at least 20 corporations, urging them to cease supplying parts that are being used in drones and missiles found in Ukraine. The goal is to hinder Russia’s military efforts by cutting off access to Western technologies. However, American components continue to be discovered in Russian weapons left behind in Ukraine.

Sanctions have been imposed on Moscow by the US and over 30 other nations in an attempt to limit Russia’s ability to wage war. Assistant Secretary Matthew Axelrod announced that letters have been sent to more than 20 American companies listing over 600 foreign parties, asking them to halt shipments due to the risk of products ending up in Russia. Senior US officials are also engaging with company leaders to discuss additional measures to prevent their products from being used by Russia.
