Motor Sich

Today I would like to touch upon the problems of one of the largest enterprises of the defense industry – the Motor Sich company.
After 2014, Ukraine stopped all forms of military-technical cooperation with Russia. The company stopped deliveries to Russia of aircraft and gas turbine engines for cruise missiles, stopped servicing equipment and lost its main customer.
This led to significant financial difficulties. Therefore, the Motor Sich management was forced to look for new sources of financing.

Washington has been putting pressure on Kyiv during the last months. President Trump threatens to freeze military aid. Result – Ukraine is ready to ban the sale of “Motor Sich” aircraft engine company to China.
With this step, Ukraine will significantly complicate relations with its largest trading partner, China.
