'Dual-use technologies'
Many of the goods being shipped contain so-called " #dual-use-technologies", which have both #military and civilian #applications, that are on a list of items prohibited for export to #Russia.
Officials have noted that it is mainly #washing-machines, second-hand cars and cameras that are among the items leaving the #EU for the likes of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.
It is feared many of the goods are being stripped down, and the semiconductors and other components being used to rebuild #Russia’s tanks, armoured vehicles and surveillance drones that have been damaged in #Ukraine.
