The list includes equipment for the production of semiconductors, in which Taiwan is a world leader, as well as some chemicals and drugs.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Economy has expanded the list of goods banned from exporting to Russia and Belarus due to Russia’s all-out invasion of Ukraine. It was reported by Reuters.
It was noted that this was done “to implement international cooperation and prevent the export of high-tech goods for military purposes.”
The list includes equipment for the production of semiconductors, in which Taiwan is a world leader, as well as some chemicals and drugs.
The new sanctions are reportedly in line with those already announced by the European Union, the United States and other countries, which, based on an analysis of the remains of Russian weapons and equipment from the battlefield in Ukraine, have compile a “high priority list” of electronic and mechanical parts and equipment that are used for commercial purposes and may be used for weapons production, Taiwan’s Ministry of Economy added.
We remind you that South Korea has introduced new restrictions for Russia and Belarus. The new resolution will increase the total number of items on the list prohibited for export to the Russian Federation and Belarus from the current 798 to 1,159.
It was previously reported that Switzerland has expanded sanctions against the Russian Federation. The Federal Department of Economics, Education and Research (EAER) added 61 more individuals and 86 legal entities to the sanctions lists.
