Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has alleged that Russian missiles and drones contain tens of thousands of components sourced from Western companies, calling for stricter sanctions to block these supply chains.
In a social media post on Monday, Zelenskyy detailed that hundreds of weapons used in attacks over the weekend contained more than 100,000 foreign-made parts. The components originated from countries including the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, South Korea, the Netherlands, Taiwan, and China.
The Ukrainian president highlighted that U.S. firms produce converters, sensors, and microelectronics for Russian drones and missiles, while British companies supply microcomputers for drone flight control.
Zelenskyy said the information on each company and product has been shared with Ukraine’s partners and stressed the need for “effective” sanctions against those aiding Russia’s military.
The UK Department for Business and Trade (DBT) said it is cracking down on companies whose products enter Russia’s military supply chain and has imposed its strictest package of sanctions, affecting more than £20 billion ($26.9 billion) of trade. Noncompliance can lead to financial penalties or criminal prosecution.
