The Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) says that Ukraine's national defense enterprises do not work with the Russian Federation.

“The Ukrainian Security Service is exercising tough control over the proper fulfillment of the presidential decree and the decision made by the National Security and Defense Council […] to prevent leaking, theft or illegal use of Ukrainian technologies in the defense sector and duel-purpose products,” SBU Chief Valentyn Nalyvaichenko told a briefing in Kyiv on Nov. 18.

Responding to a question as to whether Ukraine now has enterprises, including in the defense sector, that work with Russia, Nalyvaichenko said: “No. There are no such enterprises in the areas where Ukrainian laws work and where there is no terrorist occupation.”
