Finally, the agenda of the huge “Ukraine Recovery Conference” in Berlin was announced, where we would have to tell Western burghers how cool it is to invest in the restoration of Ukraine.
As you already know, the Office of the President expelled Kubrakov from the Ministry of Infrastructure before this event. Shmygal personally forbade the head of State Reconstruction, Mustafa Nayem, from going to this event.
In general, all the symbolism of our fucking preparation for communicating with donors about billions became the very first item on the agenda at the event, which begins tomorrow morning.
You can see this on the first screen - less than a day before the start of the event, even the head of the delegation is unknown! Scholz - yes. Ursula - yes. And here we say “throw out rock-paper-scissors.”
Unfortunately, this is a stupid, banal disgrace. And everyone understands that it is connected with the fact that Zelensky and Ermak, during the invasion, lost confidence in Kubrakov as a reliable performer: having started to hand over construction bribe-takers to NABU, they came up with some kind of protective standard against corruption. Not according to concepts, in short.
Therefore, I was very interested in who in our delegation would be on the panel dedicated to money in infrastructure. It's a blast! Alexey Kuleba in the status of “speaker on behalf of the President of Ukraine.”
The name of this deputy Ermak has already surfaced in the race for the position of Minister of Construction. And he has a strong case for a position that will oversee future billions of dollars in recovery efforts.
Firstly, Kuleba worked at the Kyiv City State Administration before the invasion, and Klitschko already said then that Kuleba was personally recommended to him by Ermak. And when Klitschko was forced into retirement by a stack of cases from the State Bureau of Investigation and the police, Kuleba’s department was the only one that was spared the searches.
Now Kuleba has an office in the Office of the President next to the office of Yuri Golik, the unforgettable coordinator of “Big Construction”.
Also, Kuleba, on behalf of the OP, oversees the construction of fortifications by regional administrations. And this is necessary, of all the “governors” they took Vitaly Kim from the Nikolaev region to this panel.
It was in his fortification estimates that the price of wood was inflated three times compared to the market, and this was a record among all regional authorities.
From the mayors they took Igor Terekhov from Kharkov. By pure coincidence (indeed, I didn’t even know that he would be at the conference), just today we published a story about his utility companies purchasing wires at a price of x1.5.
In general, I won’t overload you with emotions. Trash and frenzy in your face.
