On September 21 vladimir putin announced “partial mobilization” in the russian federation. Just like “special operation” is war, a “partial mobilization” is actually a random mobilization of everyone they can get, and it is called “partial” in order not to provoke panic.

​​​​​​​After fake referendums, on September 30, putin signed a decree about the annexation of Donetsk, Luhansk, Herson and Zaporizhzhia regions. For any sane person though, all these regions remain parts of Ukraine as well as Crimea.

All this means that as long as russia has resources, the war will go on, and more innocent Ukrainian people will die.

So, how can we cut the resources of russia short?

Russian military industrial complex is unable to produce enough weapons on its own. If manufacturers from outside russia stop supplying components and technologies to russia, they will soon experience shortage of weapons and inability to continue the war.

Despite the sanctions imposed on russia by EU, there are companies all over Europe who keep providing for the russian military and state, circumventing sanctions and earning money on the blood of Ukrainian people. These companies must be forced by public opinion and condemnation to stop their activity. Let’s see the most crucial accomplices of russia’s war crimes in Europe.

1) Make it loud online. If you have access to local media, than the more attention you can draw to the companies which provide for russia, the better. Also, you can share and discuss the issue in the social media as much as you can.

2) Go offline locally. If you happen to live or work close to the offices of these companies, it is a good idea to have an offline party with banners in front of their doors and draw some public attention to their activity.

Italy.

In 2019, Italian manufacturer Hexagon Metrology S.p.A. supplied a Micra Hexagon Metrology coordinate measuring machine to JSC Izhevsk Electromechanical Plant KUPOL, which manufactures Tor air defense systems, which the russians actively use in the war against Ukraine.

The main office is situated in Italy, Turin, Str. del Portone, 113, 10095 Grugliasco TO.

France

French company Eutelsat is providing satellites for russian propagandist channels. 30% of russian television broadcasting depends on these satellites, this is crucial with poorest regions with bad communications lines. Those are these remote and poor regions (especially regions where non-russian population prevails, like Buriatia, Dagestan, Tyva, Yakutia, etc.) where the mobilizations hits the most.

A peculiar fact is that in 2008 Eutelsat turned down an already active contract with independent media for Caucasus region (Kanal PIK) to clinch a deal with Gasprom. So, why cannot Eutelsat break a contract due to reputation losses if at least once it broke it for profit?

The main office of Eutelsat SA is situated in France, 32 boulevard Gallieni, 92130, Issy-les-Moulineaux

(+33 1 53 98 47 47)

On July 26 Eutelsat announced amalgamation with British satellite operator OneWeb. Considering how strongly both French and British governments condemned the war, it seems strange that these companies provide russian govenrment with solutions to send people to the shameful war and indignant death by using pure propagandist lies.

Switzerland

There is a number of Swiss companies who provide technical support to russian military industrial complex, following contract agreements despite the sanctions. All these contracts were signed after 2014 and the occupation of Crimea, so the companies were perfectly aware who they were clinching the deals with.
