The aggressor country is spending huge amounts of money in the war with Ukraine. Russia gets this kind of money from oil sales. Thanks to this, the Russian dictator can purchase Western components for weapons through third countries.

This opinion 24 Channel was expressed by Deputy Director of the Army Research Center Mikhail Samus, noting that we are talking about civilian microelectronics. There is no purchase ban on it.

How Russia still manages to buy Western components

According to the deputy director, Russia can earn a lot of money from oil sales. For example, on July 9, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to visit Vladimir Putin. It is profitable for Russia to trade oil with India, which is practically a sponsor of terrorism in the aggressor country.

In this way Russia can earn hundreds billions of dollars, which can then be used to introduce war. Including to obtain modern technologies, microelectronics from different countries of the world,” Samus noted.

He explained that there is no problem buying French, American or German civilian microelectronics, or Taiwanese machine tools. These products are difficult to prohibit from sale. Purchasing high-tech products through certain schemes requires additional costs, and the Kremlin has the money.

The entire civilized world cannot create such conditions when Russia will be completely cut off from any export or import process,” noted the deputy director.
