Director of the Kyiv Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Expertise Oleksandr Ruvin saidthat the Russians are looking for ways to hide the fact that they use foreign components in the weapons they use to attack Ukraine on a daily basis.
In particular, he said, the Russians erase the name of the manufacturer or the number by which it can be identified. Therefore, in order to establish the country of origin of a particular component, special examinations have to be conducted.
At the same time, Ruvin noted that foreign partners are constantly interested in which countries the components are from in order to take appropriate measures.
"They take this painfully. They are interested in which company, whose production, when the component was produced, because in many cases the Russians erase the numbers, erase the manufacturers. And we have to use special methods that we have to conduct examinations," Ruvin said.
