The Ukrainian Defense Ministry has claimed that an internal probe of the country’s military procurement practices revealed $262 million in theft-related costs; the alleged perpetrators may be criminally prosecuted amid a crackdown on corruption.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov on Monday announced the results of an investigation that began when he took the job four months ago. He said the ministry is working to cleanse the country’s military of “unscrupulous participants, inside and outside the institution,” as well as collaborating with law enforcement agencies to hold corrupt officials accountable.
“We are eradicating corruption,” Umerov insisted. “The system resists, but we will overcome it.” He added that news of corruption arrests and prosecutions will become more common, and a new “procurement architecture,” based on NATO standards, will help prevent future theft.

I think the whole thing is shady

Ammunition purchases are a key sphere of corruption as Ukraine eliminated a scheme worth $39 million in this area
@9CJ6CB64mos4MO
Let’s reorganize their policy and leaders in the area. They want to be NATO? Let’s make them work for it.
@9J29Q8K4mos4MO

@9J27XQVPeace and Freedom4mos4MO
I think that is insane that Ukraine admits that much corruption in the military.
@9J2RY8C4mos4MO
I don't have a strong stance on it.
@9J2MS5Y4mos4MO
I just know that America is giving Ukraine too much money and support.
@9J2HKTR4mos4MO
I do not think we should be funding the Ukraine and Russian war
@9J2F5DM4mos4MO
I think that this is very important.
@9J28J3CRepublican4mos4MO
why are we giving money if they aren't using it good
@9J2HFM54mos4MO
Funding given to them to protect their people, and they just used to live a cozy life for themselves. That's wrong and they should be punished for it.
@9J2GWP64mos4MO
Ukraine has had a deep history of political corruption and it was stupid for America to fund that much

What do you believe is an effective punishment for public officials found guilty of stealing state funds?
@9CJ6CB64mos4MO
Fire those representatives or leaders, increase restrictions and watch all spending done inside Ukraine, but do not cease because their leaders suck as their people do not deserve to suffer for their actions.
@ChicCaviarGreen4mos4MO
Ha,HaHa! Sorry your US Dollars have lined the pockets of Corrupt Officials instead of helping the war with Russia.
@9CJ6CB64mos4MO
Only a portion of it, not even close to all, now let’s try and exert our influence to actually get them to use what we gave them. It’s not too complicated as long as Zelensky listens.
