“Oreshnik,” the missile used by Russia to attack Bila Tserkva, does not contain any foreign-made components, according to Vlasyuk

This was reported by Suspilne, citing comments by Vladislav Vlasyuk.

Ukrainian experts examined a fragment of the missile and determined that it contains more than 1,100 components. Most were manufactured in Russia, with the rest made in Belarus. The components were mostly produced between 2023 and 2025, with the oldest dating back to 2012.

Experts have managed to identify more than 40 manufacturing companies, including the Belarusian plants “Transistor” and “Integral.”

Many of them are already subject to sanctions imposed by our partners, but not all. Ukraine has shared this information with its allies and is awaiting the expansion of the sanctions lists.

According to Vlasyuk, the first step toward limiting “Oreshnik” production is to impose sanctions against all manufacturers; the second is to prevent any cooperation with these companies. It is likely impossible to completely halt the missile’s production through sanctions alone, but it is possible to create pressure that will force the Russian defense-industrial complex to fall behind technologically.

As a reminder, on May 24, the Russians launched a massive attack on Kyiv and the surrounding region, including the launch of a “Oreshnik” medium-range ballistic missile at Bila Tserkva in the Kyiv region. President Zelenskyy called the Russians “inadequate” at the time.

An analysis of the impact sites of the “Oreshnik” ballistic missile’s fragments did not confirm the presence of special components mentioned by Russian sources, which were allegedly designed to penetrate deep fortifications and underground facilities.
