Lviv Armor Plant is to pay around Hr 10 million to the national budget for delay in production and supply of combat vehicles Dozor-B, the press service of the military prosecutor’s office of Western Ukraine has reported.
“The business court of Kyiv satisfied a claim of the military prosecutor’s office of Western Ukraine. It was decided to collect Hr 9.8 million from state-owned enterprise Lviv Armor Plant to the national budget,” the office said on August 7 on its website.
In December 2015, the Defense Ministry and the plant signed a contract to supply 10 Dozor-B vehicles to be used in the combat zone in Donbas.

“Reacting to violation of law and acting in the interests of the Defense Ministry, the military prosecutor’s office filed a claim to collect Hr 6.5 million and a fine of Hr 3.3 million for delay of supply of the combat vehicles,” the office said.
The court satisfied the claim in full amount.
