The U.S. has imposed sanctions on four Russian and two European companies following an investigation by "Schemes" into the supply of imported electronics for Russian Su-type fighter jets. This move was detailed in the updated sanctions list released by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control on August 23, — Radio Svoboda
In total, the U.S. has sanctioned 400 individuals and entities across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East for their involvement in supporting Russia’s military and evading sanctions. Among the sanctioned firms are three Russian companies—"Display Component" and two companies named "Exiton"—as well as "Aspectrium," all of which are connected to the supply of electronics for Russian fighter jets.
These Russian firms are owned by the Altukhov family, who had been importing Western electronics into Russia even before the war through their company, Integral-Zapad. After sanctions were imposed on Integral-Zapad, the family continued their operations via other companies.
European intermediaries involved in the supply chain, such as Hungarian Matrix Metal Group and Cypriot Noratec Holdings, were also sanctioned. These firms, owned by Latvian citizen Vladimirs Boretskis, sold imported electronics to the Russian companies under investigation.
Notably, the U.S. has not imposed sanctions on the owners of these firms, focusing instead on the companies themselves.
