Russian automaker Sollers is under fire over reports that its cars are breaking down along the war front. In response on Thursday, Sollers blamed Western sanctions for forcing it to switch suppliers quickly. AdvertisementA Russian contractor providing SUVs and pick-up trucks to Moscow's troops blamed Western sanctions on Thursday amid criticism that its vehicles were arriving in poor condition. The Russian automaker's recent blaming of Western sanctions is a reversal of its statements in September 2023, when it dismissed being blacklisted by the US Treasury Department. Sollers had told Russian media it did not foresee a significant impact as it already restructured its supply chain to prepare for the restrictions.

REUTERS/Alexey Malgavko//File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsOct 20 (Reuters) - Russia's government on Friday published a list of domestically-produced cars that state officials should buy, all either Russian or Chinese brands, highlighting Beijing's infiltration of Russia's automobile industry since the Ukraine war. As the West shuns Russia, Russia has shunned Western corporations. The Russian cars listed were five Lada models, produced by Russia's largest carmaker Avtovaz, as well as the UAZ, Aurus and Moskvich brands, and Evolute electric cars. The Moskvich, a revived Soviet-era car, is emblematic of China's growing sway over Russia's car industry. Five models of Chinese carmaker Haval, which has been producing cars at its plant in the Tula region, 200 kilometres from Moscow, since 2019, were listed.

A video shared by Ukraine's Defense Ministry shows the drone operator celebrating the strike. The drone can be seen flying toward its target, an enemy vehicle, which the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine said was a Russian-produced UAZ military truck. "The hand of a master," said Ukraine's Ministry of Defense in a post on X, which was formerly known as Twitter, on Wednesday. A YouTube channel for the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine said border guards were conducting reconnaissance operations when they noticed an enemy truck heading toward the "positions of the occupiers." The operator of the drone "delivered an explosive gift" to the truck, it said.

That man was the military commandant of Balakliia, a key figure in Russia’s six-month occupation of the eastern Ukrainian town. Town residents knew the commandant only by his call sign of “Granit,” the Russian word for granite, as Reuters reported in an October investigation into Moscow’s withdrawal from the town. One of the documents listed Valery Sergeyevich Buslov as among the Russian officers present in Balakliia, stating his role was military commandant. He has served as the Kaliningrad garrison’s military commandant, responsible for maintaining discipline among troops and sailors stationed there, according to a 2019 military newspaper article. By May, the military commandant had arrived in Balakliia, according to Oleksandr, one of the two female residents and another local woman.

REUTERS/Anton VaganovMOSCOW, Nov 16 (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin urged the Russian government on Wednesday to control car prices, as one industry head said Western sanctions could send annual sales crashing to below 1 million for the first time since records began. Manturov also proposed extending preferential car financing to military personnel, adding: "Today we can speak of an emerging trend towards a recovery of the industry." He said the number of cars sold in Russia would this year fall below 1 million, a first in modern history.
