The investigation has established that the Ukrainian metal products were used by the Russians to equip the office premises of the Russian Institute of Nuclear Research. New models of missile weapons with nuclear warheads are being developed based on this institute in Russia.

To conceal the international shipments, individuals sent the goods to a controlled company in the Middle East. From there, it was re-exported to Russian customers. The financial reporting of both companies was managed by the chief accountant of the Ukrainian enterprise.

Law enforcement officials conducted searches at the addresses of the company and in the premises of the suspects. During these searches, mobile phones, computer equipment, and documentation evidencing criminal activity in favor of Russia were discovered.

The owner of the manufacturing enterprise and three of his subordinates have already been notified of suspicion under Part 1 of Article 111-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (aiding the aggressor state). They face up to 12 years in prison with confiscation of property. The issue of choosing a preventive measure for the individuals is currently being resolved.

As a reminder, on January 18, former host of Medvedchuk's TV channels, who spread Russian propaganda, received suspicion. A well-known blogger was also handed a suspicion on the same day.

Additionally, on that same day, a sitting judge was declared a suspect. He made a decision in favor of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, by which funds were seized from Ukraine and spent on the war.
