Ukraine: Govt. launches database of foreign equipment allegedly used by Russia in production of weapons incl. machine tools made by 140 companies
On 30 July 2024, the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (GUR) launched an open database of foreign equipment used by Russia in the production of weapons. As of 19 August 2024, it contains information about 484 machine tools manufactured by 140 foreign companies, which are used by 147 plants in Russia to make weapons for attacks on Ukraine.
Business & Human Rights Resource Centre reached out to 130 companies whose equipment is listed in the database asking them to comment on its inclusion in the database. We couldn't approach the remaining 10 companies over inability to find any publicly available contact information for these companies.
We received responses from 17 companies only, 13% of those approached.
All company responses and non-responses are available below.
