I’m sure once Israel gets their hands on it in the upcoming bill 224, they will sell it to the Russians. Israeli politicians love to talk about how they are best friends with both Putin and Trump.
why not just ask china, they have been stealing some of it for a while through the universities.
Russians have been co-appointing researchers to US and Russian universities for decades, and these Russians sit on US peer review committees that are technically confidential.
“They really know what they need,” and are putting “serious effort” into acquiring advanced machine tools, factory equipment, research and dual-use technology, said Christoffer Wedelin, deputy head of operations at the Swedish Security Service.
Russia also needs sanctioned computer technology and software updates for machine tools, Martelius said.
Even more important to the KGB was obtaining research data about Western technology, including integrated circuit design, computer-aided manufacturing, and, especially, operating system software that was under U.S. export control. They offered 250,000 Deutschmarks for copies of Digital Equipment’s VMS operating system.
Peter Carl and Dirk Brezinski apparently met with the KGB a dozen times, filling many of their requests: source code to the Unix operating system, designs for high-speed gallium-arsenide integrated circuits, and computer programs used to engineer computer memory chips.
Alone, the source code to Unix isn’t worth $130,000. Chip designs? Perhaps. But a sophisticated computer design program . . . well, maybe the KGB did get its money’s worth.

That was 40 years back and when the Soviet Union was still around. Some things haven’t changed all that much.
Give them the AI! All of it! And then we just wait.
What is there left to steal? Us is not even trend setter anymore.
It’s China, and what sucks both us and Russia will have issues blending in
Typical Russians! :)
We need dogs patrolling all the tech centers.
All Ukraine sees are new targets if they build any production units for these stolen goods.
I have a pile of old disused phones they can have?
