A representative of the Defence Ministry's Defence Intelligence Directorate, Andriy Yusov, commented on the fire that broke out at the MiG plant in Moscow.
He was speaking on the air of the news telethon, Interfax-Ukraine reports.
"The plant and these premises are obviously involved and are directly related to the supply of components to the Aerospace Forces of the aggressor country. As for the consequences, as well as the continuation of these incidents, information is being collected and checked," Yusov said.
He noted that the main reason for the incident is the Russian aggression against Ukraine.
"We can say that already on the territory of the Russian Federation, it is often difficult to distinguish between what was the result of the degradation of the military-industrial complex, administration, and infrastructure in general, what was the result of violations of fire safety rules, what was the result of a fierce struggle of either local resistance forces or friends of Ukraine, who, of course, work in the deep rear," Yusov added.
Today, reports have been circulating online that the MiG plant in Moscow has caught fire. It is noted that the fire broke out "in a workshop under reconstruction" attached to the existing building of the plant.
