Despite the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, Ukrainian companies continue to supply equipment and materials for the construction of tunnels in the Moscow metro, according to the Russian newspaper Izvestia.

"New Moscow metro lines are being built by Kyiv companies, while equipment and materials for tunnel construction are being purchased from companies in the Dnipropetrovsk region," the publication writes, citing its own sources.

Specifically, a new underground station is being built in the Peredelkino area of ​​Moscow at the request of local authorities, and all work on this section is being carried out by the Ukrainian company IBT, which is expected to receive almost 5,5 billion rubles from the Moscow budget for the construction of a 1,62-kilometer section of the Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya Line.

Furthermore, the main supplier of tubing—the cast-iron reinforcements for the vaults of metro tunnels—is the Dnipropetrovsk plant "Dneprotyazhmash," which the publication links to Igor Kolomoisky, Chairman of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional State Administration.

As a reminder, Russian media previously accused Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko of actively conducting business in Russia.
