“According to my information, all the years after the return of Sevastopol and the Crimea to the Russian Federation, there were no problems with the supply of glass containers from Kavminsteklo. But the composition of shareholders changed recently, and the new general director adopted this non-constructive position that destroys the wine industry Peninsula, "- quoted Belik his press service.

Stopping production is a serious blow to the economy of Sevastopol and Crimea," said the deputy.
