Blackwater Founder Prince Planned To Establish Ammunition Factory And Private Military Company In Ukraine

Blackwater Founder Prince Planned To Establish Ammunition Factory And Private Military Company In Ukraine

Founder of Blackwater, an American private military company founded in 1997, Erik Prince had planned to establish an ammunition factory and a private military company in Ukraine.

That follows from the data posted by Time (the United States), Ukrainian News Agency reports.

According to the report, after Former President of the United States Donald Trump had lost the election, it was decided to freeze the deal.

Besides, one of the offers envisioned construction of a new ammunition factory in Ukraine.

Ukraine was particularly concerned over Prince’s choosing a couple of allies in Kyiv associated with Russia.

The first ally was Andrey Artemenko, who offered to the Trump’s administration a "peaceful war plan" in Ukraine that envisioned ways to cancel U.S. sanctions against Russia.

Another Prince’s ally in Kyiv was Andrey Derkach, a Ukrainian parliamentarian the United States had accused of being an "acting Russian agent."

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on June 24, Ukraine assured China of proper protection of lawful interests of Chinese investors of Motor Sich.
