At the same time, earlier Vladimir Putin argued that the money was allocated from the budget. "The thing is that the company had an independent business, and the state had nothing to do with this business.
Yesterday President Putin spoke of sufficiently significant amounts of money, which stood out behind the Ministry of Defense line, he called these figures, but the company was engaged in his business , which has nothing to do with the state, " - the message reads.
