The EU included Chinese firms in its latest round of sanctions, citing exports of dual-use goods, including components used to produce Russian drones.

Summary

The EU has imposed sanctions on Chinese firms and one individual for supporting Russia’s military in the Ukraine war, including supplying dual-use components for drones.

This is the first comprehensive EU action against Chinese entities related to the conflict.

China criticized the sanctions as “unilateral” and accused the EU of double standards, warning it would defend its companies’ rights.

The EU says the sanctions aim to weaken Russia’s war efforts and demonstrate solidarity with Ukraine. Sanctioned parties face asset freezes and travel bans.

    Double standards would be correct since EU member states send weapons to Israel that are being used to commit genocide.
