Zelanski criticizes the West for components in Russian weapons


According to Zelanski, it is worth condemned that the Russian rocket systems and drones still contain components supplied by foreign companies, in particular American, German and Japanese.
“During mass attacks on the night of October 5 (from Saturday to Sunday), Russia used 549 weapon systems containing 102,785 foreign production components” – wrote Zelanski in social media.
He mentioned the United States, China, Taiwan, Great Britain, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, South Korea and the Netherlands and accused these countries of a lack of actions to prevent supplies to Russia components for armament components.
According to the President of Ukraine, foreign companies provide Russia with Computer systems, microprocessors, analog-digit sensors and transducers, enabling the operation of missiles and drones. Zelanski emphasized that Russian ballistic missiles, such as Iskander and Kindżal, use the technology imported from the United States.
“What's more, drone microcontrollers are produced in Switzerland, and microcomputers to control the flight of these devices – in Great Britain” – said Zelanski.
“We have already submitted proposals to limit these deliveries. Our partners already have detailed information about which companies and products should be taken into account and how to react” – wrote Zelanski.
The AFP agency contacted the British government in this matter, which felt a serious concern about the mention of Great Britain in this context.
“We take very seriously reports about the products of British companies found in Russian armaments systems,” said spokesman for the British government and reminded that sanctions for bilateral trade were introduced towards Moscow, in particular in the field of military materials.
