Details

"Today, sanctions have been imposed against these supplier companies. Among the sanctioned companies are Ningbo BLIN Machinery Co., Ltd, and Suzhou ECOD Precision Manufacturing, which supplied products to sanctioned Russian enterprises in 2024 and 2025. Ukraine is working with partners from the sanctions coalition to further impose restrictions against Chinese manufacturers," Vlasiuk said.
Addition
Vlasiuk reported that the number of Chinese components in Russian weapons has almost tripled since 2023. The supply of components, materials, and means of production from China, bypassing sanctions, allows Russia to increase its capabilities in the production of UAVs and other weapons, which leads to an intensification of massive strikes on Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on international partners to ensure that their companies do not supply components for Russian missiles and equipment.
