Russian nukes in Crimea? Experts worry they may already be there 46

Members of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) in Cherkasy region have blocked the supply of military equipment of Ukrainian production to the Russian Federation.

“The leadership of one of the enterprises of Cherkasy region organized a mechanism for the illegal supply of high-tech military equipment to the aggressor country. The SBU employees have found out that the enterprise that produces navigational instruments with software for the needs of the Ukrainian army delivers similar products to Russia,” the SBU’s press centre reported on Nov.30.

Employees of the SBU found out that the law-breakers sent equipment through the so-called “gray channel”, that is, through transit of European and Asian countries, to conceal the real recipient of the goods.

During the searches at the enterprise, law enforcement officers seized the documentation confirming the illegal shipment of equipment to the Russian Federation, and samples of dual-use equipment that was sent for examination.

Criminal proceedings were opened under Part 1 of Article 333 (violation of the procedure for international transfers of goods subject to state export control) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Investigative and operational actions are continuing.
