In October, Russia attacked Ukraine with 2,000 shaheds containing 170,000 foreign components. The parts come from China, Europe, and the United States, despite sanctions.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasizes that Russians are still using components from companies in China, Europe and the United States for "shaheds" and missiles used to attack Ukraine. The president said this in an evening address, UNN reports.

Zelensky noted that in October, more than 2,000 "shaheds" were against Ukraine, against our people. Literally every day. This number of "Shaheds" means more than 170 thousand components that should have been blocked from being supplied to Russia. Microcircuits, microcontrollers, processors, many different parts, without which this terror would simply be impossible.

All this is supplied to Russia from abroad. And unfortunately, it comes from companies in China, Europe, and America - a lot of micro-contributions to Russia's ongoing terror. This brings the world back again and again to the need to work much harder to control the export of specialized parts and resources. To prevent Russia from circumventing the sanctions that have long been imposed on Russia for this war. Just like with the "Shaheds" - with Russian missiles. They all contain components from other countries,

 President calls for tougher sanctions against Russia.

Every scheme to circumvent sanctions is a crime against people and the world. And it is precisely these schemes that allow Russia to help build muscle for the regimes in Iran and North Korea. This is a global threat. And only global, special pressure can overcome it,

- Zelensky emphasized.
