“To date, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia has ensured the production of 100% of the declared ventilators (6.7 thousand) - the devices have already been delivered to 83 regions of Russia in accordance with the need stated by the Ministry of Health of Russia,” he said in an interview with Izvestia.
According to him, KRET JSC (Rostec state corporation) “acted as the only executor”.
“It has consolidated this work.
The contract was signed with implementation by the end of the year, but by September all these volumes have already been delivered to customers in the regions.
And this is in addition to commercial contracts that the regions concluded independently, in addition to centralized supplies, ”the minister added.
