Russia intends to buy Odessky Priportovyi Zavod and Joint Stock Company Turboatom through participation in a consortium. "We've paid attention to the announcement on the sale of Turboatom and Odesa Port-Side Plant. Russia is interested in the participation in the tender," Mikhail Zurabov, Russian Ambassador to Ukraine, told Interfax-Ukraine on June 21, 2013.

"But I think Ukrainian partners are not ready that Russia will buy the entire enterprises. Maybe, a certain consortium will be created," the Russian ambassador added.
