The property complex of the enterprise belongs to another legal entity against which the bankruptcy procedure has been introduced. There were cases of blocking the enterprise, while employees could not get to workplaces. The total amount of accounts payable as of September 30, 2017 amounted to about 800 million rubles. In the near future, Rostec will propose concrete steps to optimize production and preserve jobs, "said Sergey Abramov, industrial director of the armament cluster of Rostec State Corporation

"Rostec did not initiate the receipt of the Tractor Plants concern, and the Corporation does not plan to give a guarantee on its loans. KTZ enterprises should be transferred to Vnesheconombank to pay off debts. Vnesheconombank, in turn, will transfer the enterprises to the state. After that, Rostec is ready to take them under its control. It is premature to talk about the creation of a separate holding, "said Sergey Chemezov, General Director of Rostec State Corporation.
