>UK suppliers exported critical components, including semiconductors and drones, worth more than $100 million to Russia in the first ten months of last year. About $15 million worth of the goods were supplied to Russia directly from UK warehouses.
This has recently happened with Dutch companies as well. We’re still not taking this seriously it seems. There’s a war in Europe, and politicians and military are warning this can escalate to other countries too. Time (the owners/management of) European companies that send products under sanctions to Russia, are fined into oblivion and shut down. And heavy prison time for those involved. Enough with this treasonous behaviour. And this goes for those that use work arounds via Georgia, Armenia, Turkiye etc as well.
Though it is not surprising and concerns far not only UK, but after such news Europeans are indignant why Russians do not fight against dictatorship? “You Russians and Ukrainians lose your lives while we make money on your bones.” – that’s what it looks like.
That photo is so Cyber Punk.
The big corps see fines as the cost of doing business not a deterent.
It’s rare to feel proud of the UK these days. This is one of those rare occasions where people, not politicians, do something good and we should be proud.
Governments that allow this are deserving of consequences. It is treasonous and literally murderous of the lives of Ukrainian civilians and soldiers.
Be a good deal if Putin has paid $500M for his $100M of equipment
Everyone is echo chambering same news around, keeping out the fact Russia STILL gets literal billions of euros from gas trade to EU.

We should pass laws that close Business like this and put them back into hands of the public. If they can’t make profits without costing lives they don’t deserve to make profits at all
At least this shows who has a spine, and who does not.
Brits have been a:$&oles for over 500 years
publish and damn them all to public loathing
And my country just has spend around 2% of its GDP on helping Ukraine this year when the Western European countries are absoutely fine supplying Russia with weapons worth millions of dollars and doing other multimillion businesses 🤡🤡🤡 its hard not to be mad
Hopefully the us will block those companies and warehouses and send them into bankruptcy.
