Japan is joining its Western partners in sanctioning a Kazakh-registered company for supplying microchips to Russia that have military applications.

The penalty imposed on the Kazakh entity, Da Group 22 LLC, was part of a broader round of sanctions announced by the Japanese government on January 10 designed to curtail Russia’s ability to maintain its war effort in Ukraine. Overall, Japan added 22 Russian organizations and 31 companies from other countries to its sanctions list.

Japanese authorities also added over 300 objects – including engine components for cranes and motorbikes, as well as chemicals potentially useful for the development of chemical weapons – to the list of items prohibited for export to Russia.
