It was established that an end consumer of Ukrainian equipment were Russian military-industrial enterprises, fulfilling defense orders for the navy. The said goods were supplied to the final customer as Russian-made within a state program on import substitution.

The goods were detained at the Zaporizzhia customs post with documents containing false data on origin and end use.

As a result, the SBU prevented violation of current legislation on state export control during transportation of controlled goods for the Russian military needs.
