Ukrainian officials stated that a large British company suddenly refused to sell components for Ukrainian ships. It happened three years ago. However, the story became known only now when an investigation was launched into criminal proceedings concerning the supply of insufficient quality military equipment to Ukraine.
The fact that a representative of the British car industry refused to supply water cannons for ships on his Facebook wrote an adviser to former President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko Yuri Biryukov.
We are talking about “Centaur” ships. They were made at the Kuznitsa plant on Rybalskiy. The company's chairman and former deputy defense minister are now suspected of criminal proceedings.
Biryukov noted that the British had left the agreement five days before the date of the proposed delivery. They pointed to a lack of permission to supply dual-use goods. At the same time, deliveries of the same water works to Russia continued.
There are currently five centaurs on the pier. They have no shortage of staff. And there is no certificate of acceptance for two ships. For two years, the Ministry of Defense was unable to set up a special commission. Biryukov believes that all that happens to these boats is mere sabotage.
