The letter informs that a pre-trial investigation is pending on criminal offence based on part 1 pf article 328 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine ("Disclosure of state secret"). The article in question was published on January 24, 2017, on the web-site “Ukrainska pravda” (“Modern weapon introduction for the army postponed again”).
