The United States has placed sanctions on 275 individuals and entities, including 15 from India, for their alleged support of Russia's military-industrial sector.

The Department of Treasury on Thursday said in an official statement that a sanction has also been imposed on companies from China, Switzerland, Thailand, and Turkey for providing Russia with essential advanced technology and equipment to bolster its military efforts.

"The United States and our allies will continue to take decisive action across the globe to stop the flow of critical tools and technologies that Russia needs to wage its illegal and immoral war against Ukraine," Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo said.

"As evidenced by today's action, we are unyielding in our resolve to diminish and degrade Russia's ability to equip its war machine and stop those seeking to aid their efforts through circumvention or evasion of our sanctions and export controls," he added.
