Zelensky Says British Microcomputers Found in Russian Weapons Used in Mass Barrage

Kyiv is pressing partners to close sanction‑dodging supply routes following a UK pledge to scrutinize the reports.

Overview

  • Ukraine says forensic work on debris from a weekend attack identified more than 100,000 foreign-made components across 549 missiles and drones.
  • Zelensky cited UK-made microcomputers used for drone flight control and parts traced to Germany, Japan, the United States, China, Taiwan and the Netherlands.
  • The UK Department for Business and Trade said it takes the findings seriously, highlighting bans on thousands of exports, tough penalties and extensive sanctioned trade.
  • The strikes killed civilians, including four members of a family in the village of Lapaivka in the Lviv region, according to Ukrainian reports.
  • Ukraine reported a drone attack on the Feodosia oil depot in occupied Crimea that triggered major fires, with local fuel shortages having already shuttered many petrol stations.
