NSDC Secretary Oleksandr Turchynov announced a tough position of the authorities towards those who cooperate with the Russian Federation. He spoke quite harshly, commenting on the information on the cooperation of the Antonov GC with Russian aircraft builders.

"All those who cooperate with the aggressor must be kept behind bars. This is my position ... ", Turchinov said..

He added: "We will check this information, and if there is even a hint that there is cooperation that enhances the defense capability of the Russian Federation, we will arrest and shoot. There is no other option ".

Russian propagandists jokingly took the head of the NSDC seriously and called it dictatorship. The main "expert" in the interpretation of Turchinov's words on the airwaves of TVET was ex-chairman of the State Commission for Regulation of Financial Services Markets of Ukraine Vasily Volga, who in 2012 was sentenced to five years of imprisonment for corruption.
