by The Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant (UAZ) has come under targeted restrictive measures by the West — the company was included in the sixth package of the European Union’s strict anti-Russian sanctions.
The brief explanation states: it supplies the Russian armed forces with Patriot SUVs, and therefore benefits from military actions in Ukraine.
From the text, a funny conclusion can be drawn that the Europeans were outraged by the use of Patriots in the Russian army, but somehow the 469/Hunter model did not bother them. Let’s hope that this is temporary.
Also, starting from June 3, KAMAZ was included in the EU sanctions list. The companies’ assets in EU countries are subject to freezing, and EU residents are prohibited from entering into financial relations with them and providing loans.
It should be noted that UAZ falling under sanctions also means the rapid removal of the Punch Powerglide 6L50 (of French manufacture) automatic transmission modification from the Patriot range.
