Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the Russian government will provide funding for the relocation of Ukraine defense industry specialists to the enterprises of the Russian military industrial complex. Putin said this at a meeting with members of the legislature of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, a UNIAN correspondent in Russia reports.  Putin’s strategy, it seems, is to try to move the Ukrainian defense industry to Russia in case his plan of occupying or controlling Eastern and Southern Ukraine fails.
