Russian cruise missiles used in a deadly strike on Ukraine on Thursday were manufactured this year using Western-made components, according to Ukrainian presidential sanctions commissioner Vladyslav Vlasiuk.

Speaking to journalists, Vlasiuk said fragments recovered from missiles that struck a residential building in Kyiv, killing at least 24 people, showed parts of an Kh-101 cruise missile, one of Russia’s most advanced long-range weapons.

According to the Financial Times, the missile contained more than 100 components originating from Western countries.

An Kh-101 missile identical to the one that hit the residential building and examined after a Jan. 20 attack reportedly contained microchips from US brands including Texas Instruments, AMD and Kyocera AVX, as well as Germany’s Harting Technology Group and the Dutch company Nexperia.

Vlasiuk said the findings confirmed a trend showing that Russia is using missiles “straight off the assembly line.”

6. I wonder how that blackmailing dynamic works out for the oligarchs?

Maybe they had to make the trip to China on AF1 so they could take Xi bags of cash.

19. Not surprising, with enough shell companies & middlemen it will be very tough to keep those items from Russia

I doubt any were sold to Russia from the US but to companies in other countries who passed them down the chain at a markup to Russia
