In the shadow of reports that the Russian army uses suicide drones made in Iran, a new European Union document revealed today (Thursday) shows that Russia’s dependence on unmanned aerial vehicles made by the Islamic Republic highlight the weakness and difficult situation in which the Kremlin finds itself. In addition, the document also reveals how the Kremlin circumvents the international sanctions imposed on Russia.
Meanwhile, the document believes that “Moscow’s pursuit of ammunition from Iran and North Korea” may be evidence that it is facing long-term difficulties in military production, and does not meet the scale required to fight on Ukrainian soil. This, according to the report on the “Euro Observer” website. The document also revealed that the authorities in Russia indirectly imported computers, smartphones, car parts and even Lego products, contrary to the ban imposed on them by the international sanctions.
According to the EU’s special document, it can also be seen that “the sanctions meant that Russia could not finance the war in Ukraine”, but it was noted at the same time that Turkey and China are helping the Kremlin to circumvent the Western embargo. He also pointed out that the most painful measures taken by the European Union against the country affected the energy and banking sectors, given that all global markets have moved away from buying or trading Russian oil. Russian oil production fell by 10%, and gas production fell by 22% compared to August last year, according to the document.
