An Israeli citizen is among seven people charged by US prosecutors this week with smuggling sensitive electronics to Russia that could be used to make nuclear weapons.<\/span><\/p>\n

US prosecutors say the group worked with two Moscow-based companies controlled by Russian intelligence to acquire electronic components from the United States for civilian use, but which can also be used to build nuclear and hypersonic weapons and in quantum computing.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of those charged is Alexey Brayman, 35, born in Kyiv, Ukraine, an Israeli national, but residing in Merrimack, New Hampshire. The indictment, cited by\u00a0CBS<\/i>, says Brayman \u201crepeatedly used his residence as a trans-shipment point to repackage sensitive military-grade and export-controlled items and transport them to intermediate locations in Europe and in Asia, from where they were trans-shipped to Russia.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the\u00a0Boston Globe<\/i>, prosecutors believe the equipment may \u201ccontribute significantly to the military capability or\u00a0nuclear proliferation<\/a>\u00a0of other nations or have the potential to harm the national security of the United States.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The newspaper said the supplies smuggled to the Brayman family home included semiconductors, which are critical to the production of the ballistic missiles Russia has deployed to deadly effect in Ukraine. The export of the technology involved in the case is heavily regulated and took place in violation of US sanctions, according to an indictment made public Monday in Brooklyn.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Department of Justice and our international partners will not tolerate criminal maneuvers aimed at supporting the war efforts of the Russian military,\u201d Attorney General Merrick B. Garland said in a statement announcing the charges.<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Boston Globe<\/i>, however, reported that Brayman had posted a clip on Facebook of Ukrainian artists participating in the television show \u201cAmerica\u2019s Got Talent,\u201d which highlighted the\u00a0conflict between Moscow and Kyiv<\/a>, suggesting that the Israeli national-Ukrainian was not, a priori, a supporter of Russia, while his wife, Daria, appealed for donations in favor of a charity organization which helps Ukrainians in the context of the invasion.<\/span><\/p>\n
