According to the findings of Slidestvo.Info and Bulgarian Bird Bulgarian company Mimaltemer LTD, controlled initially by Russian citizen Isa Merzoyev, supplied Ukraine with over 50,000 sets of winter uniforms and about 80 1000 bulletproof vests. As a result, the Ukrainian budget spent €86,5 million in total** (about 3 billion hryvnia) on equipment that is of mediocre quality in the assessment of the soldiers themselves. The jackets were to whisper loudly and have mediocre thermal insulation, which, as the Ukrainian soldier Dmytro “Kalynchuk” Vovnianka noted, prevents silent movement in the front-front area.
