Over the past two years, more than 2 trillion hryvnia have been allocated to the Ministry of Defense from the budget of Ukraine, in addition, international assistance and volunteer assistance must be taken into account separately, but to date, facts of damage to the ministry have been recorded in the amount of only 3.5 billion, which is slightly less than 2 percent and level of arithmetic error. Is everything really so good at the ministry or have they simply not caught everyone yet?
Frankly speaking, the situation in the ministry is far from ideal and the fact that today the number of cases is minimal is rather an unfinished story of certain bodies. Someone will say “not the time,” but is it time to steal from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, time to feed the military with rubbish, time to dress them in cheap rags, or maybe time not to pay them in combat?
So far, it seems that in our state, only the Security Service of Ukraine is concerned about corruption problems. Malyuk’s subordinates identify, detain, control the case (without the possibility of the suspect getting bail) and bring criminal cases to court. It is the SBU officers who detain the thefts of property/budgets of the Ministry of Defense, and for this service there is no political overtones or proximity to certain figures, they are guided solely by the framework of the law. Politicians have been dreaming about such rules for the work of special services for years, but their implementation began only last year, and not yet in all structures.
Corruption schemes in a country that is at war are worse than treason, so the punishment for those who steal in the army should be maximum, or does anyone have a different opinion?
