Thus, Kyiv journalists noticed that Novosvetskoye Shapanskoye is actively sold on the shelves of the capital’s supermarkets, albeit with a affixed excise stamp.
“The batch is dated May. It lures Ukrainian patriots with the inscriptions “Pike perch” and “Manufactured in Ukraine,” journalists note.
In addition, the authors of the investigation found “dual citizenship” on bottles of Massandra wine released on June 18, and on bottles of Crimean cognac “Okvin” (Produced in the Krasnogvardeisky district - author) dated June 24. True, the manufacturer’s address on the cognac bottle is Odessa region.
Ukrainian supermarkets also have enough meat products from the Crimean company “Friendship of Peoples,” which belongs to the former deputy head of Poroshenko’s administration, Yuriy Kosyuk.
The Interflot-Product company, whose registered office is Sevastopol and belongs to Vladimir Nigar, a member of the public council under the governor of Sevastopol, also operates under double standards. Two different cans of sprats produced in August say “Sevastopol. Russia" and "Sevastopol. Ukraine".
“The question arises, whose enterprises are these? Or are they ready to be residents of any state where they can sell their products,” Yuri Smelyansky, a member of the Maidan of Foreign Affairs Foundation, is perplexed.
