美制裁港23公司 涉助俄羅斯採購彈藥和軍事物資 支援侵烏 1港人涉洗黑錢
The US Treasury Department announced last Friday (the 23rd) sanctions against nearly 400 businesses and individuals in Russia and elsewhere, including in Asia, Europe and the Middle East. Their products and services were alleged to have helped Russia procure ammunition and military supplies for its invasion of Ukraine and evade sanctions. The measures involve 23 Hong Kong companies and one Hong Kong resident. Light Media found that many of the companies were registered using the same address. Although some were registered in Hong Kong and had the word “Hong Kong” in their names, their office addresses were in China.
