Chinese companies have started halting the supply of pharmaceutical raw materials for drug production to Russia due to sanctions. The supply situation is expected to worsen as establishing domestic production of these raw materials in Russia is not a viable solution.

1. Time to start up more shell companies in intermediaries so they buy the chemicals at ten(?) times the cost.

2. According to RNC Pharma, 80% of russian drug manufacturers depend on **foreign** raw materials, 2/3 of which are imported from China and India.

   As a result of sanctions-related shortages:

   – drugs (medications) in russia are much more expensive

   – about 11% of are no longer available for consumers

   – russian drugs are becoming more and more defective, while at the same time they are becoming more and more expensive

3. And yet the Russian people will still support Putin and his war.

4. So I’m guessing China will be happy to sell Russia the finished product instead of the raw materials, increasing their profit a little more at Russia’s expense.

5. They will just substitute any medications they lack with vodka.

6. More sanctions please!

7. As some one who needs medication to stay alive, but can live a normal life with said medication.

   I think this is fucked up.

   I mean, fuck the Putin Regime, but stopping everyday people’s medication is wrong.

8. Considering China happily supplies the cartels with fentanyl precursors I find this claim dubious at best

9. Time for Vlad to throw in the towel and retire.

10. There are no international sanctions on drugs or food to Russia. We are not monsters.

11. This is even better than them stopping weapons. They’ll still fight only when they’re injured they’ll be even more of a burden to Russia.

    Also, this is something that will hit civilians too. Which is… well.. going to be noticed.
