The Ukrainian oligarch Dmitry Firtash illegally brings Crimean Titanium Works metal to the territory of Ukraine and then exports it as Ukrainian products.
“Ukraine provides raw materials, in particular ilmenite, to the Crimean Titanium Works to produce titanium. Then it is transported to Ukraine, marked as a Ukrainian product and gets exported through Ukrainian ports”, said the head of the Crimean-Tatar Majlis (parliament) Refat Chubarov.
50% of the Crimean works shares belong to Group DF, owned by Dmitry Firtash. According to the local media, over 400 employees of the company reside in Ukraine and every day cross the border to get to work. (Ukrainian metal)
