The U.S.-based refractory manufacturing company Allied Mineral Products, LLC, has been added to Ukraine’s list of “international sponsors of war” for its continued business in Russia, the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) announced on Feb. 8.
The “international sponsor of war” list is designed to be “a powerful reputational tool” to encourage the exit of international business from Russia and reduce Moscow’s financial ability to continue its war against Ukraine, the NACP explains on its website.
Allied Mineral Products manufactures a variety of refractory products, including heat-resistant materials that can be used in the production of military equipment. The NACP said that the company has maintained a production facility in Tatarstan, Russia, in an area known for the manufacturing of Shahed-type drones.
