Volodymyr Zelensky said that Western countries continue to supply Russia with components for the production of weapons used in the war against Ukraine, News.bg reports.
During his speech at the "Fair Play" conference, the Ukrainian head of state specified that "Russian missiles and drones consist of dozens of important components that they import thanks to various schemes from other countries," the Russian edition of the BBC specified.
"Unfortunately, today even Western countries continue to supply Russia with equipment and critical components. "Our experts have already found hundreds of different components in Russian drones, in Russian missiles," Zelensky said.
According to him, in the last year alone, metal-cutting machines from 12 countries have been delivered to the enterprises of the Russian military-industrial complex, including China, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Turkey and the United States.
It is also known that contracts for 2026 have already been signed, the Ukrainian president added.
"All this must be stopped," he urged.
The British television channel Sky News reported this week that over the past nine months, deliveries of dual-use goods to Russia's neighboring countries have increased by about 9% compared to the period from 2022, when the full-scale Russian invasion began, until June last year.
At the same time, the flows of goods are 111% higher than pre-invasion figures, British media revealed.
