صانعو الأسلحة الروس يفلتون من العقوبات

July 4, 2022 - العقوبات على شركات الأسلحة الروسية وكبار رجال الأعمال طبقت بشكل غير متسق من قبل الولايات المتحدة وبريطانيا والاتحاد الأوروبي، في الوقت الذي فشل فيه الحلفاء الغربيين في تنسيق الإجراءات ضد صانعي الأسلحة المحظورة.

As Russia’s military continues to pound Ukraine with missiles and other lethal weapons, Western nations have responded in part by targeting Russia’s defence industry with sanctions. The latest round came on Tuesday, when the United States issued new sanctions on some arms makers and executives at the heart of what it dubbed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “war machine."

But a Reuters examination of companies, executives and investors underpinning Russia's defence sector shows a sizable number of players have yet to pay a price: Nearly three dozen leaders of Russian weapons firms and at least 14 defence companies have not been sanctioned by the United States, the European Union or the United Kingdom. In addition, sanctions on Russia’s arms makers and tycoons have been applied inconsistently by these NATO allies, with some governments levying penalties and others not, the Reuters review showed.
