US firms need to be vigilant with their exports, says Deputy National Security Advisor Daleep Singh.

Singh said an "unacceptably high" number of US components have been found in Russia's weapons.

Companies shouldn't become "unwitting cogs in Russia's arsenal of autocracy," Singh said on Tuesday.

An "unacceptably high" number of US arms components are landing in Russian hands, a US official said on Tuesday.

"The percentage of Russian battlefield weaponry with US or allied branded components is alarmingly and unacceptably high," said Daleep Singh, US deputy national security advisor for international economics.

Singh was speaking at an event hosted by Washington think tank Brookings Institution on May 28 when he urged US tech companies to be more vigilant with their exports, per Bloomberg.

What a horrible misleading title. Is there any decent media left at all?

I misunderstood the headline to mean that weapons and components donated by the US to Ukraine have ended up in Russia but that's not the case, so I'm mentioning this here in case others make the same mistake as me.

The article is about US-made components (like microchips, for example) that should not be available to Russia due to sanctions but are still showing up in their weapons, meaning that these companies are not doing enough to prevent these components from ending up in Russian hands.
