Ukraine has claimed that technology from its Western allies, like the UK, is being used by Russian forces in their electronic warfare, circumventing sanctions.

Using electronic warfare, Russia can interfere with Ukraine’s military equipment, detect drone launches and predict military action. It can also be used to track drones and neutralise them in the air.

In a dossier, the war-torn country urged its allies to rein in the ties of their technological firms with Russia in the face of aggressive electronic warfare.

The dossier addressed to its allies, including the US and UK, sheds light on how they were yet to impose sanctions on firms Ukraine&nbsp;accused of orchestrating Russia’s recent technological advancements on the battlefield.

Technology made by UK firms was being used by Russia to disrupt Ukraine’s military campaign in the East, it alleged.

“The effectiveness of Russian electronic systems largely depends on access to imported components that are widely used in the production of such systems ... Specific steps should be taken immediately to reduce the Russian military-industrial complex’s capability,” the dossier claimed.

<h2>Ukraine concerned</h2>

Ukraine is concerned that Russia’s electronic warfare might jeopardise its drone attack system, giving President Vladimir Putin’s forces a significant advantage on the frontlines.

“[Electronic warfare] is the key to victory in the drone war,” wrote Valery Zaluzhny, commander-in-chief of Ukraine’s armed forces, in the Economist.

Russia using UK tech to wage electronic warfare, claims ‘concerned’ Ukraine

Ukraine war: Russia's hunt for 'drone-killer UAV concept' revealed

The Pentagon announced on Friday a new package of $150 million in military assistance for Ukraine that will include counter-artillery radar, electronic warfare equipment and counter-drone technology, bolstering Kyiv amid elevated tensions with Moscow. 
 
Although the funds were already committed by Congress, the Defense Department's announcement details specifically how the US&nbsp;military will allocate assistance earmarked for Ukraine before the end of the US&nbsp;government's fiscal year in September. 
 
The latest tranche of assistance will come in addition to the $125 million that the Pentagon announced on March 1, which included armed Mark VI patrol boats. 
 
Moscow annexed Ukraine's Crimea region in 2014 and backed a pro-Russian separatist uprising in eastern Ukraine that triggered a conflict that has killed over 14,000 people. 
 
Tensions have flared again in recent months after the two countries traded blame for a surge in fighting in Ukraine's Donbass, and Russia, in what it called a defensive exercise, massed troops on its border with Ukraine and in Crimea. 
 
US&nbsp;President Joe Biden told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Monday that he will stand up for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity ahead of a summit between Biden and Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Geneva on June 16. 
 
The Pentagon said the US&nbsp;security assistance included capabilities 'to enhance the lethality, command and control and situational awareness of Ukraine's forces'. 
 
It would provide counter-artillery radars, counter-drone systems, secure communications gear, electronic warfare and military medical evacuation equipment. The United States would also provide training and equipment to improve the operational safety and capacity of Ukrainian Air Force bases, it said. 
 
The US&nbsp;assistance followed certification by the Pentagon that Ukraine 'made sufficient progress on defence reforms this year',&nbsp;as required by US&nbsp;law. 
 
When he was the US&nbsp;president, Donald Trump was impeached by the Democratic-led House of Representatives in 2019 after accusing him of using US&nbsp;aid as leverage to try to force Kyiv into smearing Joe Biden ahead of the 2020 presidential election. The Republican-led Senate later acquitted Trump.
