Ukrainian special services exposed how Western components are shipped to Russia for Lancet drones.

At best, sanctions increase the price of components for Russian weapons manufacturers, like the German-made engines for Russian kamikaze Lancet drones, bought at a threefold higher price through a chain of intermediary companies.

Ukrainian special services shared some investigation results with the Ukrainian outlet Economichna Pravda.

For example, Ukrainian special services report that the Russian company Legion Komplekt imported engines for Lancets, even after the restrictions were imposed, from the German company Hydro-Funk through a chain of intermediaries. Hydro-Funk didn’t respond to Ukrainian journalists.

Roman Steblivskyi, an analyst at the Trap Aggressor project, explained how Russia manages to import sanctioned components. It is relatively easy, given that they are globally available:

“A range of related private suppliers are hovering around the Russian military-industrial complex. Nobody knows their names, therefore, they are not subject to sanctions.

The heads of these supplier companies may establish companies in neighbouring countries, for example, Kazakhstan, and order components from Chinese distributors on behalf of these legal entities.

Chinese companies, in turn, may purchase from Turkish ones. And Turkish companies – from companies in the European Union. There may be dozens of intermediate links in this chain.

The goods eventually end up in Russia, and the producers have no idea how they got there.“

According to Ukrainian special services, dozens of Western-made components were found in Russian Lancet drones. Predominantly, they were US-made.

US-made XILINX microprocessors provide image processing, while Nvidia modules ensure target acquisition. The navigation system is based on the Russian GLONASS system, but microchips from the Swiss company U-blox are required to establish communication with satellites.

Ukrainian secret services told Economichna Pravda how chips made by Texas Instruments and Taiwan’s Xilinx get into Russia.

A Russian company called VMK acquires electronics from TIL and ATIL – two intermediary companies from Hong Kong and mainland China. The first one was set up by VMK’s CEO, Dmitriy Rebus, independently with its registered address at a shopping center. The second one purchases products from the Turkish Turkik Union, which bears all the hallmarks of a shell company and is mentioned in Russian opposition media as a Turkish company supplying Rostec, a Russian state-owned defense conglomerate.

To close these holes in sanctions, it is necessary to sanction not only Russian manufacturers directly but also intermediary companies in the neighboring seemingly neutral state.

Dr. Valery Solovey would be one to know because he looks like a Prighozin double and the ID looks more like him than Prigozhin. But 99% I think Prigozhin died.

Ahaha, that what I know, is that Ukraine did not kill him.
He was useful for us for distracting "svinosobaki" (lit. pigdogs) from us.

Ukrainian partisans set fire to the military base of the Russian Armed Forces in Mariupol, Mayor's adviser Petro Andryushchenko reports

According to him, the "Fire Resistance" underground action in the port city continues. As a result of the arson of the military base of the Russian Armed Forces, four Russian vehicles were damaged.

"Mariupol continues to burn out the Russians, bringing victory closer," Andryushchenko added.


The Russian invaders plan to change the demographics of Mariupol population in Donetsk Oblast by 2035, settling 300,000 Russian citizens in the city.

They plan to lure them with preferential mortgages.

In addition, the occupiers bring wage earners and civil servants from depressed regions of the Russian Federation to the temporary occupied territories.

At the same time, the surviving local residents are going to be gradually deported to the Russian Federation.

The Russian tsar is going to change the ethnic composition in the occupied territories.
