"On June 23. 2023 a russian Kh-101 Rocket killed 11 people, including a child, in a residential house in Kryvyi Rih. The rocket contained 53 critical components, that were sourced from democratic countries."

#Russian import of electronic devices critical for #high-tech #weapons has bounced back to pre-war levels. Russian #missile production doubled between jan. and feb. '23.
The components from among others #infineontechnologiesag #STMicroelectronics #NXPSemiconductors #ICHausGmbH #Harting #WuerthElectronics #PeakElektronics #PhoenixContact and #Ebm-papst are produced mostly in #Malaysia (47%), #China (27%) and imported to #Russia via China and #HongKong mostly (60-90%). European dependence on Chinese #CriticalRawMaterials prevents a harder stance.

Some countries in #Europe still import #oil and #gas through #pipelines. Good news: Oil revenues dropped from 218 to 132 billion and will drop to 105 in 2024.
