Social media is actively discussing the leaked lists of organizations belonging to the aggressor’s “military-industrial complex,” allegedly “included in the closed registry of defense enterprises of the Ministry of Industry and trade,” and allegedly “being the main contractors of state defense orders, contractors and suppliers of the defense-industrial complex, as well as organizations classified as critical facilities.”
Supposedly, before Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, “the registry initially included 480 organizations, in 2022, the list grew to a couple thousand organizations, and by the beginning of 2025, it comprised 6,344 organizations, including their branches.” The registry itself is allegedly classified “for official use only” and “confidential,” and its main purpose is allegedly “preventing employees from mobilization.”
The leaked lists allegedly include 24 entities from the occupied Crimean Peninsula, 11 of which are from Sevastopol.
Predictably enough, the lists allegedly include the “Yevpatoria Aircraft Repair Plant”, the “Feodosia Optical Plant”, the Feodosia Shipyard”, which we described in our previous publications; the Feodosia-based “Sudokompozit Design and Technology Bureau”, the “More Shipyard”, and the “Aeroelastic Systems Research Institute”; as well as the “B.E. Butoma Shipyard in Kerch”; and the Simferopol-based “State regional center for standardization, metrology, and testing in the republic of Crimea, the “Fiolent Plant”, and the “”Selma Firm” Electrical Machine-Building Plant”.
At the same time, the list allegedly only includes the “Crimean Soda Plant” from the entire chemical industry in the North of the occupied AR of Crimea.
But there is no mention of the corresponding titanium and bromine plants, which may indicate that the leaked lists are incomplete or distorted: at the very least, they could not haven’t been classified as “critically important facilities.”
At the same time, the alleged presence of the Bakhchisaray firm “Krym-Avto” on the lists, as well as the long-suffering “”Druzhba Narodov” Meat Processing Plant”, is interesting.
The aforementioned meat processing plant, which likely supplies the aggressor with its products in large quantities, is “registered” in the village of Petrovka, with Viktor Golovko as its director and Yevgeniya Nefidova as its nominee.
We previously reported that the occupiers transferred the “Chumak” and “Cargill” plants in Kakhovka, which they seized in the Kherson Region, to its beneficiaries, and that since 2022, the meat processing plant has been controlled by former Russian minister of agriculture and “latifundist” Alexander Tkachev, who also operates a chain of “Crimean” supermarkets, “PUD,” located within the Ukrainian chain “ATB”.
As for “Krym-Avto,” with Alexey Kislov as its “founder,” In 2022, it received a “license for the maintenance of weapons and military equipment,” but had already provided services to the aggressor in this area since at least 2017, including “maintenance” of KAMAZ vehicles as a subcontractor to the Naberezhnye Chelny-based company “Remdizel”.
As for the Sevastopol entities on the lists, the following are predictably included: the “State regional center for standardization, metrology, and testing in Sevastopol,” “Sevastopol Marine Plant named after Sergo Ordzhonikidze,” “13th Ship Repair Yard of the Black Sea Fleet,” and “771st Repair Yard for Communications Equipment of the Black Sea Fleet.”
Also lists mentioned is the “Persey Ship Repair Yard,” whose role as a “private port” for the “Wagner” terrorist organization we previously wrote about.
Of the lesser-known Sevastopol entities, the list allegedly includes the Crimean production enterprise “Sozvezdie”, “Uranis-Radiosystems”, “Azzurro Trade”, “Ostov”, “Tekhflot”, and “Fordewind”, whose activities deserve special attention.
As a reminder, through “Azzurro Trade”, equipment from key industry manufacturers was imported into the sanctioned territory for the aggressor, primarily for naval needs, at least until 2022.
This included power plants from “MTU” (Germany), “Yanmar” (Japan), and “Kohler” (USA); additional equipment from “Kanzaki” (Japan), “ZF” (Italy), “Eliche Radice” (Italy), “Dometic” (USA), “Python-Drive” (Netherlands), “Centa” (Germany), and desalination units from “Spectra” (USA).
Before the occupation, “Uranis-Radiosystems” operated out of the “Musson” plant in Sevastopol and produced a wide range of electronic products for maritime security—satellite life-saving buoys, powerful batteries, antennas, electronic mapping systems, and so on.
After 2014, this company continued to obtain European and American components and equipment through “gray schemes,” and attempted to supply the aggressor’s shipbuilding industry, including military ships, and to enter the Chinese market. A similar “export shell,” but for the “supply of foreign-made electronic radio products,” is “Sozvezdie”, now registered to a certain Vitaly Kurov from St. Petersburg.
The aforementioned “Ostov” company, registered to Crimean resident Alexey Fomenko, primarily offers ship repair services for small ships and boats to the aggressor’s military structures.
It is primarily used to launder funds for the Kerch-based “military unit 6942” of the Russian National Guard. “FordewindЄ, a company owned by Leonard Khatskevich and his sons, also conducts similar repairs of the aggressor’s military equipment.
