Before the end of the year, the Russian military is supposed to replace almost 700 items of components for weapons and military equipment, which were produced in cooperation with Ukraine, said the head of the Ministry of defense Sergei Shoigu.
" By the end of the year need to replace almost 700 items of spare parts for weapons and military equipment manufactured before in cooperation with Ukrainian enterprises ", - said the Minister, reports TASS. Remember, in the summer of last year, the head of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko forbade any military-technical cooperation with Russia. Then Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said that the capital of Russia already has a plan for import substitution of military goods of Ukraine. As said Deputy defense Minister Yuri Borisov, the Russian defense Ministry hopes to 95% abandon dependence on deliveries of components from Ukraine. For his part, the Minister of industry and trade Denis Manturov said that Russian industry will be able to completely abandon dependence on deliveries of components and finished products from Ukraine for 3 years.
