Sanctions will be imposed over Moscow's use of Iranian drones against Ukraine and for Beijing's illegal fishing in the Pacific Ocean.



This was reported by Reuters.

The sanctions are a consequence of Moscow's use of Iranian drones in the war against Ukraine and Beijing's illegal fishing in the Pacific Ocean.

Sanctions are expected to affect a number of Russian defence industries involved in the transfer of Iranian drones to Russia.

The sanctions will also affect 170 Chinese organisations. China is using its fishing fleet to expand Beijing's maritime influence.

The US sanctions are planned on the basis of the Global Magnitsky Act, which authorises the US government to sanction foreign officials around the world who are considered human rights abusers, freeze their assets and bar them from entering the US.
