The Russian Federation has purchased for Taiwan and the USA nitrocellulose for the production of shells - WSJ

A substance that is considered a scarcity throughout the world is used in ink, paint and varnish. Russia has doubled the import of nitrocellulose used to produce shells when compared to the supply of 2021. About it writes Wall Street Journal. This substance is used in ink, paint and varnish. It is considered a scarcity product around the world. The Russian Federation itself does not produce it in sufficient quantity.

The sanctions influenced the supply of military goods to Russia, but later China increased the export of such a compound. The China Embassy in Washington Lija Penni said that China "does not sell weapons to the parties involved in the Ukrainian crisis, and is judiciously in export of dual -use goods. " At the same time, according to the publication, Moscow also purchases this substance in the United States, Taiwan and Germany.

The Wall Street Journal writes that Russia has purchased nitrocellulose in the last two years in Taiwan worth almost $ 700,000. "Analytical Marketing Chemical Group" is a Russian importer of this substance. It is a permanent partner of the State Powder Plant in Russian Kazan, according to journalists. The Taiwanese firm TNC has implemented the Turkish NOY company over 500 tons of nitrocellulose. This product was subsequently sent to the Russian Federation.

At least 80 tons of Noy nitrocellulose, according to WSJ, sold German subsidiaries of the New York firm International Flavors & Fragranes. She, in turn, sent material to the Russian Federation last year. Journalists said that the International Flavors & Fragrances was surprised when they learned that their product was being supplied to the third country. They assured that they would review the conditions of implementation and further relations with the Turkish company NOY.
