Employees of Ukraine's SBU Security Service, under the procedural control of the prosecutor's office, have exposed a former employee of a research institution in Kharkiv who illegally cooperated with a foreign military company, SBU's press center has reported.
"Operatives of the special service established that a former engineer at the design bureau, during his stay in an East Asian country, cooperated with a foreign machine-building corporation. In exchange for money, the man provided advice to foreigners on the development and construction of certain components of military armored vehicles," the statement reads.
