Japanese precision machinery from Tsugami is imported into Russia through China. Japanese authorities have investigated the supply of high-precision equipment to the Russian defense industry and have identified large-scale violations of sanctions. This was announced by the presidential commissioner for sanctions policy Vladislav Vlasyuk. According to Vlasyuk, the Japanese Ministry of Economy and Industry (METI) has confirmed the disappearance of more than 300 Tsugami machines after they were sold to seven Chinese companies. Some of them - about 30 machines - have already been found in Russia. Japan has ordered Tsugami to terminate contracts with intermediaries. The company will stop supporting machines that have already been sold in Russia, and will also stop cooperating with other suspicious Chinese partners.
