European sanctions on Russia were supposed to choke off the technology and equipment feeding its war machine, but goods keep arriving anyway. DW reporter Miodrag Soric travels to Georgia, a country that officially backs the EU sanctions regime while sitting next door to Russia with deep economic ties intact, to trace how dual-use items such as microelectronics, vehicle and industrial parts, and even weapons components still cross the border. He follows claims that exports are being rerouted through Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, and Armenia, effectively laundering restricted goods before they reach Russian buyers. Interviews with traders, officials, and analysts on the ground lay out how paperwork, shell transactions, and regional dependencies create gaps that are easy to exploit and hard to police. The film does not pretend to have a fix, instead mapping the mechanics of evasion in specific, traceable steps. It leaves the sanctions' core problem exposed: enforcement depends on neighbors who have their own reasons not to look too closely.
