The case against the chairman of the Weapons Manufacturers Association intensified after his request to NABU for theft of EUR 240 million - the media

At the end of 2023, a new stage of concluding weapons supply contracts began, but prices tried to overestimate one and a half to two times. The head of the National Association of Defense Industry Enterprises of Ukraine (NAUDI) Sergey Pashinsky told this in an interview with LB. ua, Facts reports. "There was a whole concept of people who stand behind it to overestimate the price of six contracts by 240 million euros. This is a specific amount.

I realized that if that happens, there will be neither these ammunition nor this money. So - and it is sad to say - the case was initiated against me after I was repeatedly communicated with the NABU leadership and detectives on the issue of preventing corruption, "Pashinsky said. He also reported that at the end of the summer of 2023, a whole special operation was organized in Russia to block ammunition supplies to Ukraine.

They predicted that neither European nor US plants are so fast at large capacity in the production of ammunition. Therefore, the Russians were left to close the supply channels that had the capacity of production of ammunition to Ukraine. "I know for sure that the New York Times was initiated to launch processes within Ukraine. In the article itself, the journalist indicates that" we know that you have the lowest prices "(in the Association companies).

The article does not blame me for corruption, she says one thing: ammunition is moving in a complex scheme. Yes, I confirm-according to the difficult, because we cannot buy in some countries directly, but we buy through mediators-NATO member countries, such as Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, ”Pashinsky added.

According to him, already in August, Ukrainian special services had pre -existent information about special reports, which were written "through corrupt agents of influence in the law enforcement system, it is necessary to eliminate this supply channel. " Namely: to block the activities of the Chairman of the Association, which lobbies the lowest prices for ammunition from the Association members at the Ministry of Defense, the General Staff and the Armed Forces.
