"The Yushchenko-Saakashvili arms business goes on,"he said - RIA Novosti. He noted that modern air-defense systems were being sold "for peanuts" to the Georgian military. "After the end of the Georgian-South Ossetian conflict in 2008, Ukraine - through the state-controlled company Ukrspetsstroi - continues deliveries of arms and military equipment to Georgia," he added.
