In Kyiv, US Special Representative Keith Kellogg was shown Western-made electronic parts that were found in Russian weapons. They were removed from missiles, Shaheds, and other weapons, according to the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine.

A special exhibition for US President Donald Trump's Special Representative for Ukraine was organized by the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine War & Sanctions portal together with colleagues from the Ukrainian Defense Forces and the Kyiv Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Expertise.

"Among the identified components is microelectronics critical for the manufacture of high-precision weapons, which the Russian military-industrial complex received through gray schemes, to circumvent international sanctions," the intelligence said.

In particular, Kellogg was shown the Western elements of the Iranian-Russian Shahed (Geran) and Russian Gerbera drones, which are used to strike civilian targets in Ukraine.

Ukrainian intelligence emphasized the importance of strengthening control over compliance with sanctions and the responsibility of companies whose products end up in the hands of the aggressor.
