" the head of essentially banned... And in practice with the specified day we stopped any interaction in the sphere of military-industrial complex with the Russian Federation, " said Yarema. He said that before the current de facto authorities have been terminated interaction in the military sphere with the position of production and supply to the Russian Federation of arms and weapons, but it was allowed interaction on manufacturing products of double purpose, for example the engines for helicopters, which are able to be used for military and civil purposes. Interestingly, the press service Poroshenko leads the text of the speech of the President at the meeting of Countbase, however, about the prohibition of cooperation with Russia in the military sphere, nothing is said.

As reported by the news Agency, a total ban Poroshenko on cooperation with Russia in the sphere of military-industrial complex was not a surprise for the Russian Federation. As explained Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, 10 June the Ministry of industry and trade made in MIC Plan full import substitution of military products of Ukraine, for this reason the ban Poroshenko was not a surprise." The plan is the result of meticulous work of our experts: where, what, how much time and money to produce and who exactly is responsible, " said Rogozin. But is Ukraine ready, refusing to cooperate with Russia in the sphere of military-industrial complex, in order to please the West after the fact to eliminate one of its most powerful industries is likely that a rhetorical question.
