The US has accused the Russians of illegal supply of electronics for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation - FBI

However, the management of these companies claims that the supply has been agreed with the US State Department. This is stated in the FBI's accusations. "The citizens of Russia Yevgeny Grinin, Alexei Ippolitov, Boris Livshitsa, Svetlana Skvortsov and Vadim Konoschenko were charged with conspiracy and other accusations related to the global procurement network and washing money on behalf of the Russian government," the document said.

One of the accused, the allocated FSB employee Vadim Konoschenko was detained in Estonia on December 6, 2022 and is waiting for extradition in the United States. Other persons involved in the case remain at large, reported in the FBI. In the case of their guilt, the defendant faces up to 30 years in prison.

Law enforcement officers claim that all these persons were related to the Moscow companies Serniya Engineering and Sertal LLC, which operate under the guidance of Russian special services, purchasing advanced electronics and complex testing equipment for the Russian military-industrial complex and the research and development sector.

These are electronic components, some of which can be used in the development of nuclear and hypersonic weapons, as well as quantum computers and other military development. It is noted that these two organizations have been managing the network of false firms around the world, given the United States to implement the scheme of illegal deliveries without throwing shadows involved in this Russian government and not revealing the final recipients.

The indictment also states that Serniya Engineering has cooperated with the State Corporation "Rostech", "Rosatom", the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and various units of the FSB, so both companies were added to the lists of sanctions. At the same time, Serniya Engineering, Sergei Ershov, states that all supplies that FBI considers illegal were agreed with the US State Department. Ershov emphasizes that his company is not related to such supplies for five years.

"The fact is that the company has long been under sanctions. Since April. Those supply of American equipment we have done before, all were agreed with the State Department. No amendment was passed by the State Department: they were all agreed,"-said Ershov. According to him, the FBI has made these accusations because the US is trying to replenish its exchange fund for further exchange of US citizens after the successful agreement of Moscow and Washington against Russian Victor But.
