Ukraine Sanctions Five Chinese Companies: Because "Supplying Drone Parts to Russia"
On Tuesday, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy signed an order to impose sanctions on five Chinese-registered companies, which are identified by Ukraine as supplying components for the Russian "Witness" type drones.
Previously, the Ukrainian Security Service stated in a statement that "Chinese-made components" were found in a downed drone during an air raid on Kyiv on July 4th.
According to the report from Kyiv Independent, the five companies are:
Central Asia Silk Road International Trade Co., Ltd.
Suzhou Aikede Precision Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
Shenzhen Luoyue Technology Co., Ltd.
Shenzhen Jinduobang Technology Co., Ltd.

Previously, the Chinese Foreign Ministry repeatedly emphasized that the Chinese government strictly controls the export of dual-use products, including drones, and implements strict export control for dual-use products such as drones, opposing the use of civilian drones for military purposes.
