Despite sanctions, Russia still gets hands on Western goods
A Kansas businessman shipped banned avionics equipment to Russia through Armenia, the UAE and other third countries.

But not every Western firm plays by the rules, with some opening new factories in third countries to export products to Russia, he said.
