Ukraine raises alarm over foreign components in Russian drones

Ukrainian authorities are growing frustrated with a surge in foreign components being found in Russian drones, with a senior diplomat calling on allies to tighten sanctions controls as Moscow scales up military production. Vladyslav Vlasiuk, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's special envoy on sanctions, said the European Union's sanctions regime is showing cracks as enforcement is carried out by member states rather than the bloc as a whole -- even as the Kremlin expands large-scale aerial attacks. We would like the European Union to step up exports control for European companies," Vlasiuk said in an interview in Kyiv.
