Five of them have been indicted. The dual-use goods included binoculars, telescopic sights, etc. The group has been active since early 2021.

"They were not intended for the regular Russian army, but for the special forces fighting in Ukraine - the 26th special purpose unit, the naval infantry, the Wagner Group, etc.", explained the head of the State Agency for National Security Plamen Tonchev.
