A Montreal man was given a 40-month prison term by a federal judge in the United States for engaging in a scheme to illegally trade millions of dollars worth of digital components to Russia for military purposes. Nikolay Goltsev, 38, used two businesses in Brooklyn, N. Y., to obtain gadgets from U. S. manufacturers and take them to companies in Russia that are under censure by the U. S. state. Eventually, some of the technology was discovered in Ukrainian seized Russian weapons platforms and signals brains equipment. Goltsev profited from the purchase of American technology, according to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland in a speech,” for further Russia’s brutal battle in Ukraine.”
