Marker Nordic OÜ response

[Translation prepared by Business & Human Rights Resource Centre]

Media: Tallinn company supplied Russian defence contractor. Company's owner: "I wish Ukraine victory"

...Estonian company Marker Nordic OÜ is registered in Tallinn...Type of activitiy: wholesale and retail trade; repair of cars and motorcycles. Its founder and sole employee is Dmitry Alexandrov.

RusDelfi talked to...Alexandrov. According to him, he no longer cooperates with Lomo and wishes Ukraine victory in the war.

Did your company cooperate with the St. Petersburg firm Lomo?

Yes, before the beginning of the war.

Was cooperation terminated after the war started?

Certainly. I myself worked for Lomo, 10 years ago I left St. Petersburg here and started a company. And since I have colleagues at Lomo, I did endoscopy. I worked with flexible medical endoscopes. We have supplied them with consumables for the production of precisely flexible medical endoscopes for 10 years. And when the war began, sanctions were imposed, of course, everything stopped.

Of course, I don't agree. This information was torn from the report....

The screenshot of the report shows the date: 2022. Was it a delivery under a contract that was concluded in January?

I don't even know where these dates come from. Perhaps, yes, at the beginning of the year a contract was signed, during the year all these deliveries were made. I don't even know what these dates are, why they are like that. August 19, August 18, April 15... It's weird. Well, in general, I do not understand what these dates are and where they come from. It is possible that at the beginning of the year there were orders, payments and contracts, and deliveries were already going as far as possible, according to the situation. In any case, in the 2022, after March, there were no contracts and payments. I understand that because of the sanctions, everything is over...
