Approximately 60% of the foreign components utilized in Russian weaponry on the Ukrainian battlefield are sourced from China, as reported by Ukraine’s presidential adviser Vladyslav Vlasiuk on Tuesday.

“When assessing the various types of weapons and their foreign-made parts, around 60% can be traced back to China. We have engaged in extensive discussions with several manufacturers regarding this issue,” Vlasiuk stated.

“I would identify the People’s Republic of China as the primary concern.”

He also noted that significant components for surveillance systems, drones, and missiles have been sourced from the United States, the Netherlands, Japan, Switzerland, and other Western nations.

Since launching a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Russia has managed to sustain its military capabilities with Western microchips and semiconductors, despite facing extensive sanctions from the West.
