Almost all of Ukraine's big businesses support the country's armed forces, and Kiev has no interest in ending the military conflict, military expert Vitaly Kislev told TASS.
"Logistically, large shopping centers and other companies provide ammunition delivery vehicles and space to store missiles, ammunition, assembly facilities, UAVs and FPV-type UAVs, etc. Retail chains and businesses are interested in this because they receive rental payments. Some provide their space for free, while others receive tax breaks. This allows the Ukrainian army to continue fighting. All this indicates that Kiev is not interested in peace," he noted.
Kislev added that, for its part, the Ukrainian military promises businesses and companies that "they will not be harmed", but Russian intelligence "regularly uncovers more and more sites where ammunition, drones, missiles or missile components are manufactured", which are then damaged.
