Such sanctions are a direct blow to the Russian army.
In proposals to strengthen sanctions against the United States, Europe and World v. Russia and Belarus, authored by the Yermak-McFaul International Working Group, the point concerning the sale of microelectronics to Russia, unlike others, is devoid of any specifics. This is a threat, because microelectronics, which is a dual-use product, is essential for the Russian defense industry. Yulia Samaeva, editor of the economics department ZN.UA – “Plan to strengthen sanctions against Russia. Ukrainian version” writes about this.
All the sanctions currently imposed on Russia, and proposals to expand them, are blows to the enemy's rear, to its economy, which must one day falter and fall. Instead, the sanctions imposed on the supply of sensors, microchips, optics, and computers to Russia are a direct blow to the Russian army, to Russia's ability to recover after each battle.
that we have already gone through it. When sanctions were imposed on Russia and its military-industrial complex in 2014, they were so “powerful” that the aggressor continued to produce drones, sighting systems, modify tanks and ships, and equip fighters with modern navigation systems. The loopholes for circumventing these bans still exist. Despite all the sanctions, the supply of dual-use goods to Russia is possible, all previously concluded contracts remain in force, and the list of banned dual-use goods has many exceptions that can and will be used by the Russian army.
The international group was created just to find and cover up ways to circumvent sanctions.
