DIU presented evidence of Western components in Russian weapons

During a special event of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine for honorary consuls of foreign states and Ukrainian ambassadors, specialists of the Military Development and Research Department of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine presented diplomats with samples of captured Russian weapons and numerous electronic components of Western production, which continue to arrive in the Russian Federation despite sanctions.

In addition, military intelligence experts presented the War&Sanctions analytical platform, a digital tool that allows for effective tracking of Western components in Russian weapons and counteracting the circumvention of sanctions imposed on the aggressor state.

It is noted that in the "Weapon Components" section of this portal, an electronic database of new samples researched by GUR specialists and colleagues from research institutions is regularly published.
