The United States has sanctioned two Chinese companies it says are involved in the production of aerial drones used by Russia in its war in Ukraine.
In a statement, the US Treasury said it was also targeting a Russian company and its owner, who it said serve as an intermediary between the firms and a Russian state-owned weapons company.
The move means their property and interests within US control have been seized.
It came as Volodymyr Zelensky outlined his victory plan in a speech to the EU Council - in which he said Ukraine had intelligence that China is still actively helping Russia in its pursuit.
US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said the so-called suicide drones had been used to destroy critical infrastructure and has resulted in mass casualties.
