‘Every russian missile, every russian strike drone contains components that are still being supplied to russia from Western countries, from various countries neighbouring russia. Now, in the fourth year of full-scale war, it is simply surprising to hear that someone there does not seem to know how to stop the supply of critical components,’ said the head of state.


Zelensky noted that a single russian Kinzhal missile contains 96 foreign-made components, many of which are truly critical and cannot be manufactured independently by russia.


‘The nearly 500 drones that the russians used last night contain more than 100,000 foreign-made components,’ the president emphasised.


He added that among the manufacturers of these components are companies from the United States, China, Taiwan, as well as the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and the Netherlands.


‘In particular, there are schemes involving several countries. All this must be stopped,’ the head of state said.


He announced that a meeting of the G7 sanctions coordinators is scheduled for the second week of October and noted that partners have all of Ukraine's proposals regarding sanctions and restrictions on supply schemes: ‘The materials have been provided – decisions are needed.’


Zelensky added that Kyiv is preparing sanctions against those who ‘are working for russia now, for its war, and against those who are trying to weaken Ukraine at this time.’


The president also noted that there is no ‘decent, strong reaction’ from the world to the ‘constant increase in the scale and audacity’ of russian strikes on Ukraine.
