Kuleba calls on Western partners to stop supplying dual-use components to Russia
In the wake of last night’s massive missile attack on Ukraine, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba called on the Group of Seven and the European Union to finally block the supply of Western-made components found in Russian missiles to Russia.
As Censor.NET reports with reference to Ukrinform.
"In the context of the night shelling, I would like to remind you that many Western-made components have been found in Russian missiles flying at the heads of Ukrainians," the minister said.
He stressed that, according to a recent report by the Kyiv School of Economics and the Yermak-McFaul Group, 44% of all electronic components in Russia's weapons are developed by Western companies. He added that Russia uses washing machines, microwaves, and other household appliances "not for washing and eating, but for extracting individual parts from them in order to mount them in its missiles and kill Ukrainians".
"We regularly share the lists of components we find in downed Russian missiles with our partners. And, I emphasise, we have repeatedly called on them to take measures to block the supply," Kuleba said.
