Moscow is complaining that the Ukrainian “defence people,” starting March of the current year, have stopped supplying spare parts to the Russian weapon producers.

As the Deputy to the Defence Minister of the Russian Federation Yuriy Borisov noted, such a position of Ukraine “adds to Russia’s problems” in servicing the equipment engaged in defence, in particular, helicopters, the engines for which were produced in Ukraine. Meanwhile Borisov noted that the process of import replacement is underway in Russia.
