Russia ramps up imports of defence industry components from China, Ukrainian intelligence says
Source: Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU)
Details: DIU has released data on 37 foreign-made pieces of equipment used by Russia's defence industrial base, including components from Almaz-Antey, a manufacturer of anti-aircraft weapons, and Uralvagonzavod, the country's largest producer of tanks and armoured vehicles.
Uralvagonzavod imported Chinese machine tools in 2023-2024.
Ukrainian intelligence pointed out that Russia's defence industry continues to rely on foreign equipment, particularly computer numerical control (CNC) machines.
Payments for these goods are primarily processed through VTB Bank and its Shanghai branch, with transactions conducted in Chinese yuan.
Meanwhile, Chinese machine tools are equipped with German and Japanese CNC systems, including those produced by Siemens, Heidenhain and Fanuc.
"Uralvagonzavod and Almaz-Antey also use equipment manufactured by Emco (Austria), Grindex (Serbia), Hermle (Germany), Tos Čelákovice (Czechia), etc. that they purchased before the full-scale invasion," DIU reported.

RDDT DEADLINE ALERT: ROSEN, A LEADING LAW FIRM, Encourages Reddit, Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important August 18 Deadline in Securities Class Action
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - August 11, 2025) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Reddit, Inc. (NYSE: RDDT) between October 29, 2024 and May 20, 2025, both dates inclusive (the 'Class Period'), of the important August 18, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline. SO WHAT: If you purchased Reddit securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Reddit class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 18, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) changes in Google Search's algorithm and features like AI Overview were causing users to stop their query on Google search; (2) these algorithm changes were materially different than prior instances of reduced traffic to the Reddit website; (3) defendants were aware that the increase in the query term 'Reddit' on search engines was because users were getting the sought after answer from Google Search without having to go to Reddit, and not because they intended to visit Reddit; (4) this zero-click search reality was dramatically reducing traffic to Reddit in a manner Reddit was unable to overcome in the short term; and (5) defendants, therefore, lacked a reasonable basis for its outlook on user rates and advertising revenues. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the Reddit class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff. Follow us for updates on LinkedIn: on Twitter: or on Facebook: Attorney Advertising. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. ------------------------------- Contact Information: Laurence Rosen, Esq. Phillip Kim, Esq.
