They go to weapons production: Belarusian Exartner Apple and Tesla bypassing sanctions sells special equipment

To spread: the Belarusian Holding of IZOVAS and related EU companies, whose products were bought by Apple, Samsung, LG and Tesla, sold the components and equipment of $ 200 million to Russian defense enterprises for Russian defense enterprises during the Russian-Ukrainian full-scale war. It is about manufacturers of shrapnel and foot shells, UAVs, fire control systems for tanks and aircraft.

Investigators "Schemes" ("Radio Liberty") together with foreign colleagues on April 24 were told about the corresponding loopholes of Russia in efforts. "The Belarusian Holding of IZOVAS and European companies related to it, whose products were bought by Apple, Samsung, LG and Tesla, from the beginning of a full -scale war in February 2022, and at least until July 2024 put in Russia components and equipment for the production of dollars.

" At least 30 Russian companies were clients of the Belarusian holding. Almost all of them belong to the Russian military-defense complex, in particular "Rostech". More than 20 companies have been sanctioned. The Russian Federation bought the following equipment from IZOVAS: a researcher of the Kiev School of Economics on sanctions, Elena Bilousova told Scheme reporters that in particular vacuum installations sold by Russia by a Belarusian company is an important element for weapons production.

Journalists found that Izovac Holding began to disguise in April 2022 to bypass European and American sanctions. This happened by removing the word IZOVAC from the names of affiliated foreign companies. For example, Izovac Photonics in Lithuania was called i-photonics. It is noted that Ukraine also cooperated with the Belarusian Holding IZOVAC at one time. However, everything has changed with the beginning of a full -scale invasion in 2022.
