A Canadian national and a New York resident pleaded guilty on Tuesday to illegally exporting millions of dollars worth of U.S. electronics that were used in Russian weapons in Ukraine, the Justice Department said.
Nikolay Goltsev, 38, of Montreal, and Salimdzhon Nasriddinov, 53, of Brooklyn, face up to 20 years in prison for conspiring to commit export control violations, the department said in a statement.
According to federal prosecutors, some of the electronic components shipped by the defendants have been found in seized Russian weapons platforms and signals intelligence equipment in Ukraine, including an airborne counter missile system, Ka-52 helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles and battle tanks.
"The defendants shipped millions of dollars of U.S. electronics critical to the missiles and drones Russia uses to attack Ukraine, and they now face U.S. prison time for their scheme," Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said. "As Russia continues to wage its unjust war of aggression against Ukraine, the department remains committed to holding accountable those who fuel Putin's war machine."

If Dotard had come out against Eastern European (Russian) immigrants and Russian organized criminals infesting our country INSTEAD of the southern immigrants who pick our food, I might consider him for a second term.
NOT!!
What was I thinking??????
Of course he wouldn't do that becasue he's a racist. And a Putin puppet. Project 2025 talks about deporting MILLIONS of immigrants.
Are ANY OF THEM RUSSIAN??? I seriously doubt it..........
This has been going on since before the fall of the USSR. Why are we letting them into the country if we can't keep a tight watch on their activities? They don't come here because they love our freedoms, they come because they're acting under orders of Mother Russia.
... but the ones who are moles - like the oligarchs - are shielded by Chump and others because he made multi-millions when he sold them properties.
There are plenty of former Russians who have left Putin behind and came to the US to start a new life. They aren't looking back, and I welcome them here like all immigrants.
The moles are a different story - Pootie is paying them to do as much damage as they can while they're here. Once they're caught, they'll scoot back to Russia and get their reward. Remember Maria Butina, the NRA "gun" girl? She's doing well - a member of the Duma now.
