Security service’s economy counterintel operatives along with the Ukrainian prosecutors have liquidated the supply channel of low-quality components for limb prosthetics aimed to facilitate rehabilitation of Ukrainian troops who suffered injuries during the Anti-Terrorist Operation in Donbas, the SBU's press center told UNIAN.
"The law enforcers have established that since 2014, a private structure has been purchasing from a Russian supplier knee joints, knots, and prosthetic modules. The SBU probe saw that the products imported from Russia failed to meet the requirements of national quality standards," the report says.
During the searches in a warehouse, industrial and office premises of the company involved, the operatives seized Russian-made components, accounting documents, copies of certificates, and pricing papers for prosthetics made of poor-quality components, proving that the activity had been deliberate.
