Ukraine calls on Germany and the Spinner company to stop sending expensive equipment used to produce ammunition to Russia.
Bloomberg writes that it has access to a letter from the Ukrainian National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption, which states that a CNC machine manufactured by Spinner Werkzeugmaschinenfabrik GmbH from Turkey should be delivered to the Russian plant at the end of September.
The machine, which uses computer tools to make precision instruments, is needed to produce the high-explosive fragmentation shells that the Russian invaders are using in Ukraine. “Once the machine reaches Russia, there is little we can do to prevent its use for military purposes by Russia: time is pressing,” the letter says.
It is noted that the machine was loaded onto a truck in Turkey on August 30, then it was transported by ferry to a port on the northeastern coast of the Black Sea. From there it will go to OJSC Serov Mechanical Plant.
It is noted that the ammunition manufacturer is associated with the sanctioned Rostec, and the importer is the Yumak company, a supplier of a number of sanctioned enterprises engaged in the production of ammunition, shells and other components used in Su and MiG tanks and fighters.
According to Bloomberg interlocutors familiar with the deliveries, in the past other equipment produced by this company came to Russia from other countries.
