Data seen by Sky News shows an explosion in UK exports to countries neighbouring Russia for materials that are subject to sanctions since the war in Ukraine began.

Exports to Kyrgyzstan have leapt by 1100%, lead by exports of cars and heavy machinery - both of which can be used for weapons manufacture.

As Sky News' Ed Conway explains, there are suspicions that Russian shell companies could be using this route to get around sanctions.
