KYIV. Oct 31 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Vyacheslav Bohuslaev, President of the Motor Sich Corporation, at the beginning of the full-scale Russian aggression ordered the documents for helicopters to be hidden so that Ukrainian pilots could not use them, and then gave the order to remove the blades from the helicopters, Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin said.
"Trading ‘death engines’ is not everything. The investigation has information that the president of Motor Sich at the beginning of a full-scale war, after a corresponding appeal from the Ukrainian military, ordered the company’s employees to hide documents for helicopters so that the Ukrainian defense forces could not use the equipment. They say that Ukrainian pilots will not take the helm of a helicopter without special forms," Kostin said in an exclusive interview with Interfax-Ukraine.
The Prosecutor General added: "And that’s not all! After the Ukrainian military applied for helicopters, the president of Motor Sich gave the order to dismantle the equipment. Just take the blades off the helicopters!"
The Prosecutor General drew attention to the fact that all this happened at the beginning of the war: "We all remember how enemy helicopters stormed Gostomel. How other cities were shelled. And when timely support to the armed forces in the air was so important …," he added.
