Following OCCRP and Partners Investigation, Ireland Will “Pursue” Issue of Irish Components in Russian Drones

An OCCRP and partner investigation found European components, including Irish-made parts, in Russian military drones used to attack Ukraine’s energy infrastructure despite EU export sanctions; in response, Ireland’s Prime Minister pledged to pursue the issue, acknowledging widespread sanctions circumvention and the resulting humanitarian impact. The report focuses on supply chain and sanctions evasion rather than a cybersecurity incident.
