The National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption has included the Italian company Buzzi Unicem, a world cement producer, into the list of international sponsors of the war, the press service of the agency reports..

The reason for this move was that, despite its announcement that it would no longer have any operational involvement in Russian business, Buzzi Russia continued to expand both after the annexation of Ukrainian Crimea and after the start of a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine..

Buzzi is one of the five leaders in the cement industry in Russia, and is also represented in Ukraine by two cement plants: Volyn-Cement and Yugcement and terminals in Kyiv and Odessa.

According to the NAPC, for the period from 2016 to 2021, the Russian division of Buzzi Unicem paid taxes and other obligatory payments to the Russian budget for 62 million euros - this is the cost of 206 Tochka U missiles that Russia uses against the civilian population of Ukraine.

In addition, Buzzi Russia cooperates with the Russian Ministry of Defense and supplies its products to the largest state-controlled enterprises, in particular Rosneft, whose leadership is under sanctions and has close ties to the President of the Russian Federation, as well as Rosatom, which is involved in threats to the whole world of possible.

Subsidiary SLK Cement sent products to a Russian artillery unit, which includes Buzzi employees.

Not a single shareholder so publicly condemned the participation of Buzzi Russia in the Russian war and did not call on the company to abandon the Russian business, the NAPC noted.. This indicates the support and sponsorship of terrorism by the Russian Federation..
