BLOOD-STAINED BIRCH: COMING SOON

An undercover investigation by Earthsight has revealed widespread laundering of Russian timber into the EU in breach of sanctions put in place in response to the country’s brutal invasion of Ukraine. 

Earthsight has spent six months exposing the clandestine trade in the most valuable sanctioned product - Russian birch plywood - to the EU. We reveal the actors at every stage of the supply chain - from the manufacturing giants in Russia to firms laundering their products in China, Kazakhstan and Turkey and their customers in the EU.
