U.S. sanctions against Russia
The U.S. imposed sanctions against Russia in electronics in response to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. These sanctions are aimed at restricting Russia's access to advanced technologies and components necessary for the production of electronics.
In October, the U.S. imposed sanctions due to violations of the Russian oil price cap.
In early November, the U.S. introduced a new package of sanctions against Russia, including banks, the developer of Lancets, and members of the Russian government.
