The SBU exposed a Volyn company that supplied Russia with high-tech products for submarines.
The Volyn company, which manufactures products for supporting and rotating mechanisms, supplied the Russian Federation with components. In particular, these products are used for the production of submarines, the Security Service of Ukraine reports.
“The company sold rare components to Russia through an affiliated company in one of the European countries. The head of the firm cooperates with terrorist organizations “L/DPR”, the SBU said.
According to the scheme, the foreign company purchased the products of the Ukrainian plant allegedly for its own needs, and then shipped them to the final customers in Russia.
It was previously established that almost 200,000 units of spare parts had been illegally “exported” since the beginning of the full-scale war.
Evidence was found during searches at the factory and in the residences of those involved.
Criminal proceedings were also initiated for aiding and abetting the aggressor state (Part 4 of Article 111-1 of the Criminal Code). The head of the Volyn manufacturing enterprise is planned to be notified of the suspicion.
As USM previously reported, in April 2023, the Russians kept two submarine missile carriers on duty in the Black Sea, which were equipped with Kalibr cruise missiles.
