Early Thursday morning,
Russia President Vladimir Putin declared war on Ukraine,
sending troops across the border into Ukraine
and shelling Ukrainian territory.
The U.S. had already imposed economic sanctions
on Russian businesses and leaders
to deter Putin from escalating the conflict.

The U.S. is home to the world's biggest names
in the semiconductor industry—
such as Intel, Qualcomm, and Nvidia—
and U.S. companies create software
that foreign rivals use to design their own chips.
Blocking Russian access to key U.S. design tools and brand-name chips
could cripple the Russian tech industry.
All modern tech, including cars, smartphones, and missiles,
are dependent on semiconductor supplies.

Ukraine is a leading exporter of highly purified neon gas,
which is necessary for the lasers
that are used to etch circuit designs into silicon wafers to create chips.
Russia, meanwhile, is the world¡¯s leading producer of palladium,
which is essential for many memory and sensor chips.
The country also produces several other key raw materials for computer chips,
including the rare–earth metal scandium.

If the U.S. tries to sever Russia¡¯s access to chips,
Russia could easily retaliate and put a squeeze on the industry choke points it controls.
