MOSCOW, June 8. /tass/. The State Bureau of Investigation (GBR) of Ukraine reported on the detention of the owners and managers of the concern suspected of supplying industrial products to Russia, which were allegedly used in the production of weapons and military equipment.

According to the bureau, among the detainees is the organizer of deliveries, a former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada from the "Party of Regions" of ex-President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych. According to the agency, on February 24, 2022, the concern, whose management was detained, supplied components to the Russian Federation for at least more than 160 million hryvnia ($ 4.4 million).
