REGIONALKyiv IndependentInvestigation: European companies keep the motors of Russia's war machine running

A recent investigation by the Kyiv Independent reveals that several European companies are indirectly supporting Russia's military operations by supplying key components and technologies used in its war machinery. These companies, operating within the European Union, have been identified as providing motors and related equipment that are integral to Russia's defense capabilities.
