According to KSE, in nine months of 2023, the import of military components into the Russian Federation decreased by only 9.1%, and the import of dual-use goods decreased by 28.5% compared to the period before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The Russian Federation imported $20B of “critical” components and $8B of “military” components. Russia received at least 33% of its most important foreign-made military components from companies based in the US and its allies, thanks to production facilities located in other countries.
In total, goods worth $7.3B were produced in countries not part of the US-led export control coalition. The largest share of these goods, $1.9B, was produced in China.
