“I am not in contact with any Russians. I’m not a fan of Putin. I have sympathy for Ukraine, and I sympathize with her because of the annexation of Crimea.

If you read what I wrote, I expressed very clearly – we are not sure that Ukraine is a source of technology. This can be Russia”, – he said.

“I suspect that they were obtained through illicit channels. I do not think that the governments of Russia or Ukraine would take part in it.
