General Director of "Kyivguma" Ostrogrud rejects accusations of trade with Russia: they want to "bring down" company and take revenge
Kyivguma stated that it does not supply tactical medicine to Russia. The day before, the SSU conducted searches at the company’s production and warehouse facilities.
This was reported on Facebook by Andriy Ostrogrud, CEO of "Kyivguma", Censor.NET informs.
According to him, since February 2022, the company has completely stopped cooperation with Russia and has not made any deliveries. And the companies from Estonia and Switzerland involved in the case have been Kievguma's clients for more than 20 years, not gaskets for the transfer of goods to Russia.
"As for the "evidence" - photos of searches, some "worn out documents", seized equipment, etc.! The photos are really of my colleagues, members of my family! This is how the "guys" showed up at many addresses yesterday! In our own homes, they took NOTHING except cell phones, and in fact, they did not even search us as such, they did not even seize our computers! In the office - we gave access "everywhere", and as I wrote, there was no "face on the floor and broken doors"! All they were interested in were servers and personal computers of the owners! They got everything, so "we are waiting for new evidence"! Because now in the case file there are some "worn-out documents" where our company is not mentioned in any way!" - he emphasized.
Ostrogrud noted that since February 2022, the company has supplied Estonian and Swiss companies with goods worth about 1 million euros. This amount was indicated by the SSU, but, he added, there were no "tactical" items.
These were rubber heating pads, oilcloths, nipples for babies, etc. At the same time, the SSU included elastic rubber bandages - Martens bandages, which Kyivguma has been producing for more than 70 years, and their supply is "several tens of thousands of euros, not a million," said the CEO.
"Wanting 'revenge for my aggressive position' and also wanting 'profit' - to 'bring down our company' as the only and largest manufacturer of first aid kits, and to bring in their suppliers of Chinese shit, and the 'treason' was created," Ostrogrud summarized.
Earlier, the SSU reported the exposure of a Ukrainian company that supplied tactical medicine to Russia during the war.
