    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    To make munitions for missiles and drones, Russia depends on micro-electronics imported from abroad, but U.S. and European measures have failed to block Moscow’s access to those electronic components.

    The expansion of Russia’s weapons production offers clear evidence that thousands of Western sanctions have proved ineffective, the report said.

    The authors of the report argue that it is still possible for the U.S. and its allies to choke off the supply or prohibitively raise the cost of electronic components, machine tooling and raw materials needed for Russia’s weapons production.

    To make sanctions stick, governments need to share relevant intelligence — including classified information — rapidly to allow for timely enforcement of export controls or action.

    Western governments should form an “intelligence fusion center” that could build “a common recognized target picture of the Russian defense industry,” it said.

    Better intelligence sharing would also allow allies to undertake coordinated action — including clandestine measures — to undercut Russia’s weapons production, the report said.
