The Greek Current Turkish entities sanctioned for helping fuel Russia’s war machine
Last week the Biden administration imposed sanctions on five Turkish companies and a Turkish national, accusing them of helping Russia evade sanctions and supporting Moscow in its war against Ukraine. US officials have repeatedly pushed Turkey to crack down on Russian circumvention of sanctions, particularly when it comes to the export of chemicals, microchips and other products that can be used in Moscow's war effort. Expert Sinan Ciddi joins Thanos Davelis to look at this latest round of sanctions, which underscore that despite repeated warnings, Turkey continues to help fuel Russia’s war machine.

He is also an Associate Professor of Security Studies at the Command and Staff College-Marine Corps University and Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service.
