The Biden administration will impose sanctions on five Turkish companies and one Turkish national "as part of broader Russia designations," Reuters reported on Thursday, citing a senior Treasury official.

Iran PressAsia: According to the report, the sanctions hit companies the US accuses of helping repair Russian ships and supplying “dual-use” goods to Russian companies.

The firms were included in a sweeping list of sanctions rolled out by the US Treasury Department and State Department targeting 150 foreign companies and individuals.

Turkiye, along with the UAE, has been a focal point of Western efforts to cut off the flow of electrical components and tech parts that can be used in Russia’s defense industry.

Several Turkish companies were sanctioned by the US in April for their alleged role in aiding Russia’s war industry.
