Export Controls Expand to 28 Russian Entities and Allied Firms Across Europe and North America

The US Department of Commerce has expanded export controls, listing 28 entities connected to Russia that are now subject to new restrictions. The development was reported by multiple agencies, including the Russian news agency TASS. The move broadens the scope of measures aimed at limiting access to sensitive technologies and components that could be used in military or strategic applications. In addition to the Russian firms, the list also includes entities that operate in or have ties to Armenia, Belarus, Belgium, Germany, Kazakhstan, Cyprus, China, and the Netherlands. These sanctions reflect a tightening global enforcement posture designed to track and pause the cross-border flow of electronics and related technologies that could potentially contribute to military or state-led programs. The reversal of export privileges underscores the government’s intent to create a more rigorous, auditable trail for shipments that could affect national security or defense-related supply chains.
