Shopping & Ukraine

I spent my 3-hour break today food shopping. Because Carrefour didn't have everything I needed, I had to go to Lidl and the Auchan to get the missing items.

Meanwhile from Ukraine:  Very interesting.

A new Ukrainian study on imported equipment used for Russian weapons manufacturing says that the People’s Republic of China is Russia’s best source of high-tech machine tools for arms production, but far from the only one.

Companies in ten other countries besides China – most openly opposed to supporting the Kremlin war machine, and more than a few NATO members – also have sent Russia hundreds of advanced milling machines, lathes, heat treatment chambers and high-tech optical polishers that are now helping the Kremlin churn out weapons, a study published on Wednesday by Ukraine’s national military intelligence agency, HUR, said.

According to the Ukrainians’ research, countries not friendly with Moscow also have allowed hundreds of high-tech machine tools suitable for production of modern military equipment to enter Russia in the past 12 months.

NATO nation companies with equipment identified by Ukraine as manufacturing weapons in Russia currently included Optical Gauging Products and Lapmaster Wolters(USA), Bonetti Cutting Solutions (Italy); Hermie, Rohde & Schwartz, Finetech GMBH, ISOG Technology and Schuler (Germany);  Benmak Makine and Inductotherm Group (Turkey); CETOS, TDZ Turn, Toshulin and TOS Celavovice (Czech Republic).Source- Kyiv Post
