This is stated in an open letter from Sinclair & Wilde to the National Police of Ukraine, as reported by Tsensor.NET.

"Sinclair & Wilde categorically denies the false and unfounded claims made in a recently released video by the National Police of Ukraine. It is clear that the release of this story is an attempt by the National Police to cover up its own internal corruption and the corrupt practices of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine in its prolonged efforts to avoid paying bribes that have been demanded from it," the open letter states.

The document notes that Sinclair & Wilde had five contracts to supply military uniforms and textiles to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. Despite receiving all the goods, the Ministry of Defense refused to pay back $14.5 million, claiming that the return of funds was a bribe.

"Throughout 2023, several individuals, including subjects of American and Ukrainian investigations, demanded bribes from Sinclair & Wilde to ensure the payment of the remaining $14.5 million owed to them. Sinclair & Wilde refused and reported these requests to the authorities in the United States and Ukraine. In an effort to comply with the laws of both the United States and Ukraine, Sinclair & Wilde attracted the attention of the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv, U.S. law enforcement, and Ukrainian law enforcement to the bribery demands and obvious corruption in the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine more than a year ago," the letter states.

The company also claims that it provided the National Police of Ukraine with all confidential information, including witnesses and evidence that refute the allegations against Sinclair & Wilde.

"The response from the National Police of Ukraine was the leak of investigation details to former head of the Ministry of Defense's procurement department, Maxim Grytsenko, and others, endangering the lives of witnesses who cooperated in the process, one of whom is a U.S. citizen. Just a few days after a confidential meeting with the National Police, Roman Balikin – a likely target of the current investigation – knew all the details of the meeting," Sinclair & Wilde reports.

Due to this incident, U.S. authorities have refused to continue cooperation with the National Police.

Sinclair & Wilde also denies the National Police's accusations of price increases on the supplied products.

"Law enforcement and representatives from the defense department inspected the uniforms and found that the prices charged by Sinclair & Wilde were below the fair market value, especially considering the costs related to delivery and logistics," the open letter notes.
