Ukraine: Brokering, Export Criteria and Licensing

[In Ukraine] there is only one state-sanctioned company authorised to engage in the sale of military goods.

'Ukrspetseksport' is a state-owned agency that manages the sale of armaments to foreign clients.

Although no other intermediary is granted the legal right to sell Ukrainian weapons, independent reports suggest that there are many brokers operating in Ukraine, some with high-level connections inside and outside the country. (191)
