"They acted like hygienists, gobbling up other private companies simply because they had some influence over decision-makers. And, say, they stopped buying drones and copters from a certain private company. And that company could no longer retain its specialists, who would then move to another private company.

I even saw, I know, how one general simply looted other small private companies in this way—he needed specialists at the front and in the rear, whom he simply snatched up for himself with the help of the TCC. The TCC simply stood at the doors of these companies.

"And they were deprived of their reservations because they weren't producing anything; there was no government contract. It was a conspiracy: they were taken away, mobilized, and forced to work for 23 hryvnias for this general," Kasyanov fumes.

According to him, this is how his small company was put out of business.

"Almost everything was destroyed just so we wouldn't bomb Moscow, because we'd probably gotten in someone's way," Kasyanov asserts, trying to address the topic of the authorities' work for Russia.
