Nearly 60 percent of the foreign parts found in Russian weapons come via China, Ukrainian presidential adviser Vladyslav Vlasiuk said during a briefing in Brussels on Sept. 24.

Vlasiuk showed reporters a list of technology found on the battlefield, which included advanced chips made by U.S. companies such as Analog Devices, Texas Instruments, AMD-owned Xilinx, and Intel’s Altera, as well as Germany-based Infineon’s Cypress Semiconductor. Some of the chips were made as recently as last year, while others were manufactured over a decade ago.
