Sanctions show US stubbornly clinging to the reins of its high horse of war: China Daily editorial

China Daily  

The US Capitol building is shrouded in haze in Washington, DC, the United States, on June 7, 2023. Yet, as if to conceal its inability to help Ukraine win the upper hand on the battlefield, the US announced on Wednesday that it has slapped a new round of sanctions on over 300 individuals and entities that it claims are enabling Russia to sustain its military campaign in Ukraine. Speaking to the media ahead of the G7 Summit in Italy, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said that the targets of the sanctions include "major nonbank entities that help Russia finance its war effort and evade sanctions; entities and individuals across multiple evasion and foreign procurement networks, like networks that support Russia's UAV production, gold laundering, and procurement of sensitive items such as anti-UAV equipment, machine tools, industrial materials and microelectronics". While the US claims that it wants to make it harder for Russia to source crucial technology for its military, by targeting over $100 million in trade with Russia, the US is putting itself above international law and using sanctions to support what is in purpose and effect its own war effort. The US has also rallied its allies to slap sanctions on Russia and third parties, which has disrupted the global financial system and international supply chains.
