| Summary/Abstract |
SINCE 2014, relations between the US and its allies, on the one hand, and the Russian Federation, on the other, have deteriorated over the incorporation of Crimea into Russia, which led to sanctions being placed on Russia, as well as on third countries interacting with Russia in areas subject to sanctions. Acase in point is the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA). The US Senate drew attention to a deal that India had signed with Russia to buy a batch of S-400 [surface-to-air missile] systems from [state-run arms exporter] Rosoboronexport, a Russian military organization that was included on the sanctions list. In 2018, sanctions were also imposed on China under CAATSA for similar cooperation with Russia.
