We are a private team of security experts and analysts, united in our mission to expose Russia’s wartime economy, its military-industrial complex, and the foreign players enabling its survival.

Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Western nations have imposed sweeping sanctions aimed at crippling its military and industrial capabilities. As these restrictions have tightened, Russia has increasingly turned to China and other actors to sustain its war machine. Chinese suppliers have also become the primary source of industrial equipment and machine tools, accounting for 80–90% of all such imports.

Even goods produced by Western companies outside the EU or G7 are making their way into Russia despite a web of sanctions, contributing to Russia’s war-critical supply flow. This underscores the urgent need for EU and G7 governments to take decisive action to halt these exports and shut down the East Asian corridor sustaining the Kremlin’s military aggression.

Since 2014, we have consistently exposed or helped expose key elements of Russia’s war economy – working closely with media and intelligence services. Our team operates a global network of trusted sources, many based in Russia, China, and the EU. These connections, combined with robust signals intelligence, allow us to track the Kremlin’s war infrastructure as it unfolds.

We collaborate with journalists, investigators, and researchers worldwide to publish hard-hitting stories on Russia and its partners – chief among them China, along with other silent collaborators in East Asia and around the world. We also support media professionals in tracing the supply chains, sanction evaders, and hidden actors enabling Russia’s war against Ukraine.

Now is the time to go further. Russia’s war economy continues to adapt and expand, exploiting weak enforcement, regulatory gaps, and global supply chains. The Kremlin relies on a growing network of intermediaries, shell companies, and complicit partners to bypass sanctions and acquire war-critical technologies. Without sustained pressure and exposure, these channels will remain open – and the cost will be paid in Ukrainian lives.

This is why we are launching Dallas – an initiative to scale our efforts, deepen our investigations, and bring together the brightest minds in security, intelligence, and investigative journalism. Through Dallas, we aim to sharpen the global response to sanction evasion, identify and disrupt logistical pipelines, and hold enablers accountable – wherever they operate.

Step into the shadows with us – uncover the truth, dismantle the networks, and strike at the heart of the Kremlin’s war machine.
