The Office of the President of Ukraine has reported that some components of Russian missiles, including microchips and circuit boards, are manufactured at the Integral plant in Minsk. These are components used in cruise missiles and, specifically, in the Oreshnik system. The Ukrainian side is calling for tougher sanctions against Belarus and the Russian “shadow fleet.”
Deputy Head of the Office of the President Pavlo Palisa, Advisor and Presidential Envoy on Sanctions Policy Vladyslav Vlasyuk, representatives of the Security Service, and the Office of the Prosecutor General held a meeting with European ambassadors regarding increasing sanctions pressure on Russia.
"Representatives of European states were shown details of the Russian Zircon, Kalibr, and Kh-101 missiles, as well as Geran-2 drones, which Russia used to attack Ukraine on the night of May 24. These weapons contained components manufactured abroad—specifically in Switzerland, Germany, the U.S., the U.K., Japan, China, and other countries—many of which were produced this year. They also displayed individual circuit boards from the "Oreshnik" system, which contain exclusively Russian and Belarusian components manufactured between 2004 and 2014," the Office of the President noted.
"We need to focus and truly stop the supply of parts going to Russia. This will deal a significant blow to the capabilities of Russian defense production," Vlasyuk said.
According to the advisor—the President’s representative on sanctions policy—it is also “important to tighten control over Belarus’s access to foreign electronics.”
