Ukraine’s Main Directorate of Intelligence (HUR) has begun publishing data on weapons manufacturers aiding Russian forces, which it bluntly labeled as “producers of death.”
The data is available on the agency’s War & Sanctions portal, highlighting key information on Russian companies, their defense products, and an overview of their operations.
The database also identifies affiliated companies, including those from other countries.
So far, the HUR has exposed at least 79 firms, including Geran and Harpiya, which has been identified as producers of the Russian versions of Iranian Shahed-135 kamikaze drones.
The list also features ZALA Aero Group, the manufacturer of the Lancet loitering munitions and ZALA reconnaissance drones.
Focus on Drones, Missile Manufacturers
The HUR has prioritized drone manufacturers for the centralized database, as these systems pose significant challenges to Kyiv’s forces.
Notable companies listed include JSC Alabuga, LLC Albatros, and Izhevsk Electromechanical Plant, which were labeled as direct suppliers to Russian military units in Ukraine.
The database also exposes defense startups engaged in crowdfunding, operating pilot schools in occupied territories, and modifying weapons to suit battlefield needs.
The HUR plans to expand the database to include missile manufacturers and other categories in the future.
‘No One Will Go Unpunished’
The initiative is part of Ukraine’s broader strategy to synchronize international efforts against Russian aggression.
The HUR emphasized that the database could aid in imposing sanctions, restricting supplies, and enhancing accountability.
“No one involved in the murder and terror of Ukrainians will be forgotten or go unpunished,” the intelligence agency stated.
In addition to the list of manufacturers, the War & Sanctions portal also features data on Moscow’s “shadow fleet,” which includes 238 ships involved in exporting sanctioned oil for Russia and Iran.
