Russian missiles, drones contain components from 19 countries - Ukraine's Prosecutor General

Ukraine's Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin announced this on the social network X. 

"The missiles and drones that Russia uses for daily attacks on peaceful cities and towns of Ukraine contain foreign components manufactured in at least 19 countries. These are China, South Korea, Germany, the United Kingdom, Japan, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Taiwan, the United States and others," he wrote. 

According to Kostin, The Hague was looking for a solution to deprive Russia of modern technologies. 

"It is extremely important to develop a comprehensive policy to prevent illegal trafficking in technology and strengthen accountability mechanisms for those involved in such activities," he said. 

The Prosecutor General emphasized that part of such efforts should include criminalization of transportation, sale, purchase or delivery and other actions that help to bring technology goods to sanctioned persons. 

"We highly appreciate the work of the Disruptive Technology Strike Force established by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Department of Commerce, as well as the sanctions imposed by the EU, the U.S., the U.K., and Japan on dual-use goods and advanced technologies that could be used by the Russian defense industry. We also welcome the 14th EU sanctions package, which restricts the export of nine additional dual-use goods and advanced technologies and imposes stricter restrictions on 61 entities based in Russia and third countries," Kostin added. 

• On July 10, it was reported that on July 8, the Russian troops hit the Okhmatdyt children's hospital with a Kh-101 missile, which had Western components.
