The Russian cruise missiles fired last night at Ukrainian cities, contain dozens of foreign componentssaid the head of the Ukrainian presidential office, Andriy Yermak.
“Tonight, the Russians shelled Ukraine, in particular with Kh-101 missiles. These missiles were produced by the Russians this year. There are about 30 foreign microchips in the Kh-101 missiles that were launched in April,” he wrote in Telegram.
Ermak called for tougher sanctionsto close Moscow’s access to foreign components.
“We work with our partners, we communicate with them regularly. Our partners’ governments also work with chip manufacturers and suppliers. Restrictions are already in place, but sanctions must be strengthened to prevent Russia from obtaining critical components and producing missiles Ermak added.
Experts note that despite the current sanctions, Russia still manages to get parts for its weapons made abroad, buying them for a lot of money. Full sanctions, which would strip Russia of petrodollars and shut down its economy, could affect this.
That night, the enemy launched at least 28 cruise missiles of various types over Ukraine. In particular, 4 X-22 cruise missiles, 20 X-101/X-555 cruise missiles and 4 Kalibr cruise missiles, UNIAN listed.
