So he's not only a traitor and human scum, but also an idiot lol
Traitor, scum, idiot... How about the fact, that this man is one of those best positioned to gauge the extent of damage done to Ukraine's economy through its severing of its former links with Russia? Pre-2013, Antonov was coming out of a long 20 year slump, and the future seemed bright. Guess why? Because the Russian Ministry of Defense was placing numerous orders for transport aircraft with Antonov instead of the domestic Ilyushin, Yak, Tupolev. Though it led to outrage at home, Russia was willing to procure and produce An-158, An-178, and even restore production of the enormous An-124 Ruslan. Since 2016, Antonov has unfortunately not delivered a single aircraft to a single customer.
After the Maidan all the orders evaporated, together with tens of billions of dollars in other military industry tie-ins. This included naval diesels, gas turbines, rocket engines, jet engines, guided munitions, and other items that absolutely nobody will buy from the Ukrainians except for Russians. The reason being that Russian weapons were designed with these components in mind, while Western and Asian weapons manufacturers have their own vendors to protect. Nobody is gonna give Ukraine handouts, that will help it become a competitor to their own companies.
This man has seen his entire life's work destroyed for the promise of being a "European". Instead of working with their brothers on building something to compete with Airbus and Boeing, his government has forced this legendary design bureau to become a struggling airline company (Antonov Airlines). The managers that are rotated annually through Antonov from the state arms holding, UkrOboronProm, are incompetent sacks of sh!t that excel only at stripping Antonov of assets. So don't be too harsh in judging this man.
