A Russian spy network smuggled sensitive technology from EU companies to fuel Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine, according to a Financial Times investigation. Despite a US-led crackdown, the “Serniya network” managed to obtain machine tools from Germany and Finland. Other clients of the network include the Kremlin’s Foreign Intelligence Service, the state-owned defence conglomerate Rostec, Russia’s Ministry of Defence, and Rosatom, the state atomic energy company. A Moscow-registered company, controlled by the same person that controls a Serniya network entity, has continued to buy items from companies inside the EU and acquired $900,000 worth of materials, including microchips, since the Ukraine war began. The FT alleges the company is buying items for the spy network.
