Ukraine’s anti-corruption watchdog wrote to German authorities and a Bavarian-based company seeking to halt the delivery to Russia of high-end machinery used by ammunition manufacturers.
"Ukraine’s anti-corruption watchdog wrote to German authorities and a Bavarian-based company seeking to halt the delivery to Russia of high-end machinery used by ammunition manufacturers.
The National Agency on Corruption Prevention in Kyiv informed the German government that a so-called CNC machine manufactured by Spinner Werkzeugmaschinenfabrik GmbH is en route to a plant in Russia from Turkey, according to letters seen by Bloomberg News and people familiar with the matter. The equipment is due to arrive later this month."
Really? Framing it “so-called” makes it sound esoteric and rare, while in fact it’s an utterly common machine tool used in many industries to create … pretty much anything (eg. casting dies for Lego bricks). I wish they’d tone down the alarmism (unless they know it’s ordered by “Ivan’s Shell Mfg. Co”).
Russia should be blackwalled until Putin is put down and this war is over. Sending anything… literally anything over there should be completely banned (especially if there is even a remote chance that it could assist Russian war efforts in any way).

Thanks for the excerpt.
