Today, first and foremost, our gratitude goes to our warriors. To all those who defend Ukraine from the daily attacks of “Shahed” drones and missiles. Russia is gradually escalating this activity. And, sadly, it is still able to use Western components for this.

In October, more than 2,000 “Shahed” drones were used against Ukraine, against our people. Literally, every single day. This number of “Shahed” drones means more than 170,000 components that should have been blocked from being supplied to Russia. Microchips, microcontrollers, processors, and lots of different parts without which this terror would simply be impossible.

All this is supplied to Russia from abroad. And sadly, including from companies in China, Europe, America – lots of micro-contributions to the constant Russian terror. And this, again and again, brings the world back to the need to work much harder to control the export of special components and resources. To prevent Russia from circumventing the sanctions that have long been imposed on Russia for this war.

As with "Shahed" drones – the same applies to Russian missiles. They all have components from other countries. Fighting against Russian strikes means, among other things, fighting for the power of sanctions against Russia. Sanctions must be increased; they must be effective. And every scheme to circumvent sanctions is a crime against people and the world. It is precisely such schemes that allow Russia to help build the strength of the Iranian and North Korean regimes. This is a global threat. And only global, special pressure can overcome it.
