“The security service exposed two founders of a private company in Kyiv, which supplied wholesale batches of poor-quality military uniforms to the National Guard units. It is documented that during March-October 2023, those involved shipped 30,000 units of clothing for Ukrainian defenders with a total cost of UAH 28.7 million.” – the message says.
The examination initiated by the Security Service showed that the military uniform purchased with state funds was sewn using hardware that did not meet the technical conditions.
“In particular, the materials used have a lower class of wear resistance, so a serviceman will not be able to reliably fix protective ammunition and weapons with ammunition on such clothes. Accordingly, this can pose a real threat to the life and health of Ukrainian soldiers on the front lines,” the SBU informs.
According to the case file, the defendants deliberately “saved” on quality materials in order to buy cheaper components and thus get a bigger profit.
During the search of the residences of the defendants, commercial documentation and a hard drive with evidence of the device were found.
“Currently, SBU investigators have notified both founders of the company of suspicion under part 2 of article 28, part 5 of article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (possession of property by abuse of official position, committed in a particularly large amount by a prior conspiracy by a group of persons under martial law) “, the message states.
