Roshen denies drone production rumours after attack on Vinnytsia plant

Russian forces launched an attack on the production facilities of the Roshen corporation located in Vinnytsia. Immediately after the incident, false reports appeared in the information space claiming that Roshen plants manufacture unmanned aerial vehicles.

Official company position

Roshen’s representative office officially denied these accusations. The statement emphasised that all of the corporation’s enterprises specialise exclusively in the production of confectionery products. No drones or any other military products are manufactured.

"Roshen офіційно спростовує цю інформацію. Підприємства корпорації виробляють кондитерську продукцію та не здійснюють виробництва дронів або іншої продукції військового призначення. Виробничий комплекс у Вінниці є цивільним об’єктом", - йдеться у заяві компанії. (Roshen officially refutes this information. The corporation's enterprises produce confectionery products and do not manufacture drones or other military-purpose products. The production complex in Vinnytsia is a civilian facility, the company's statement reads.)

Consequences of the strike and demands for accountability

The company reported that it managed to avoid casualties among the staff. An operational evacuation of employees was carried out after the air raid alert was issued.

Roshen stressed that such actions by the enemy pose a threat to the lives of peaceful Ukrainians. The corporation emphasised the need to investigate this terrorist attack and provide a proper legal assessment of the actions of those responsible.
