A lawsuit to be announced Wednesday alleges U.S.-made technologies were used in Russian missile and drone strikes that killed Ukrainian civilians, Newsmax has exclusively learned.
Attorney Mikal C. Watts will lay out the sweeping lawsuit, to be filed in the morning, alleging that U.S.-made semiconductor and navigation technologies were embedded in Russian missiles and drones that killed and severely injured Ukrainian civilians.
The announcement, which will be made in Washington, D.C., will center on claims that American-made components "were found inside Russian weapons systems used to carry out deadly strikes on Ukrainian cities, despite export bans and sanctions," according to a statement from the law firm.
The lawsuit comes as the Russia-Ukraine war nears its fourth year after Russia launched its full-scale invasion on Feb. 24, 2022.
The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has verified that 14,775 Ukrainian civilians, including 755 children, have been killed.
And 39,322 more Ukrainians, including 2,416 children, have been injured.
"These numbers only represent the verified casualties," according to the OHCHR. "Actual figures are likely significantly higher."
Watts' legal filing asserts that "chips, processors, and navigation systems produced by major U.S. manufacturers" turned up inside Russian munitions recovered across Ukraine.
According to the complaint, the case "presents evidence showing how American-made components — including chips, processors, and navigation systems produced by major U.S. manufacturers — were found inside Russian weapons systems."
The filing cites investigations by PBS, Reuters, Bloomberg, RUSI, the Center for Advanced Research, and Ukrainian authorities as confirming "the presence of U.S.-origin components in recovered Russian weapons."

The ambulance chasers return.
So if a freaking Arduino or Raspberry Pi was bought in a E.U. country and shipped to Russia to go in a drone, an ambulance chaser can get millions from the companies?
They’re hoping so.
So what?
Technologies from all kids of different countries are used in making advanced weapons, products, even in China.
I remember when the most advanced chips in F22 were made in Taiwan.
Probably still are.
The Ukrainian nationalists fought under the swastika during WW II.
So what.
permanently.
Oh NO, a $50 Garmin car navigation system was found in a Russian drone. Bring on the lawyers.
I understand that somewhere in Moscow is a large display of American and European weapons and equipment captured on the battlefield, plus rockets and missiles that malfunctioned and crashed intact. All have undoubtedly been reversed engineered and copied. And, Russian espionage is second only to China. How is that open to court proceedings??
We need “loser pays” laws to restrain the lawyers from theft.

*************************
We have an extremely corrupt & expensive law system in this country.
This nonsense shouldn’t even get a hearing.
My first thought is that they need to see if Hunter or Joe Biden got any cash from this situation.
The events of negligence are : duty, breach, causation, damages. I think lack of duty is what will sink this case
Ever hear of the black market? And what was going to stop weapons and weapon parts going into Ukraine, from being sold and ending up in Russia? It's not like any of the money or weapons, etc., that were sent to Ukraine have ever been fully accounted for. And then again, this could just be pure bullshit.
What would stop the Taliban from selling the shit that Biden left in Afghanistan, to Russia?
Could that mean that American defense and intelligence contractors are responsible to whomever suffers from American tech or weapons that the FSB and SVR steals and uses? What about nukes?
Who does he represent?
The Palis got all excited about this novel legal theory, but when their lawyer called them back, they got as far away from the phone as they could.
This has Secretary Clinton, Biden and the Obozo written all over it. Just my guess of course.
“American-made components — including chips, processors, and navigation systems produced by major U.S. manufacturers”
We have lots of Asian Indian tech workers. India long has had good relations with Russia.
A batch of circuit boards could be scraped and a relative in India could buy a mansion using Russian-held rupees that can legally only be spent in India the Russians can’t otherwise find a use for. The boards could wind up in Mexico and eventually Russia.
An Asian Indian tech worker could have a bunch of circuits made in Taiwan that wouldn’t work on an American product but would work with a Russian product.
