Russia continues to receive imported components that allow it to sustain and scale up its weapons production.
As Dilo reports, Ukrainian Ambassador to the United Kingdom Valeriy Zaluzhnyi said this, urging the international community to cut off channels for supplying such technologies to the Russian Federation, Informatsiya-Ukraine reports.
According to him, the Russian Federation has effectively shifted to regular massive shelling of Ukrainian cities, using a wide range of weapons. Zaluzhny noted that Russian drones are arriving on the front essentially directly from production lines, while ballistic missiles are accumulated for large-scale strikes.
"For years Russia has continued to receive imported components that allow it not only to continue, but also to ramp up its weapons production," the diplomat said.
Zaluzhny stressed the need to stop supplies of critically important components to the Russian Federation. He said that if the international community fails to block the relevant channels, Russian weapons could potentially pose a threat not only to Ukraine.
The issue of Russia's access to foreign technologies and components was also raised by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba. At the beginning of September he called for systematically closing sanctions loopholes after another mass strike by the Russian Federation, during which foreign-made components were found in Russian arms.
According to Kuleba, Russia uses intermediaries, third countries, and procurement networks to circumvent sanctions and obtain critically important components. He urged strengthening export controls, law enforcement, and accountability for companies and intermediaries that facilitate the supply of such goods to the Russian Federation.
The Ukrainian side emphasizes that restrictions must cover the entire supply chain—from the technology producer to the final recipient in Russia.
As a reminder, the Russian authorities for the third year in a row plan to increase tax pressure on citizens and business. The aim of this step is to fill the federal budget, the deficit of which this year will reach almost 7 trillion rubles due to spending on the war against Ukraine.
