Ukraine shifts drone component sourcing toward Taiwan via EU intermediaries

Ukraine shifts drone component sourcing toward Taiwan via EU intermediaries

The post describes Ukrainian drone makers increasingly procuring components from Taiwan due to risk of tighter Chinese export controls, using Poland/Czechia as transit points and Taiwanese reps opening in Lithuania/Poland. This is a supply-chain/logistics adaptation aimed at sustaining mass drone production under potential embargo pressure, though Taiwan still depends on some PRC inputs (batteries, magnets).
