The agreement was to give the company advantages in the development of funds from the regional budget and the conclusion of contracts for the purchase of the necessary equipment (protective equipment) for the military unit as the sole executor without observing the principles of public procurement.

The suspect decided to buy helmets and bulletproof vests from the company "BK KBR" LLC under a contract in which conditions regarding the quality of military ammunition, which are mandatory for such contracts, were deliberately not included. With this, Sushyk actually allowed the purchase of protective vests in the amount of 884 units and combat helmets wz.2005 in the amount of 846 units, which do not correspond to the 4th class of protection according to DSTU 8782:2018 and the 1st class of protection according to DSTU 8835:2019, from LLC "BC "KBR" .
