The front line is tight, the rear is tight, and this is not uncommon in Ukraine. According to information provided by the National Security Service of Ukraine, during one investigation, Ukrainian defense personnel conspired with arms suppliers to embezzle funds worth 1.5 billion hryvnia, equivalent to 40 million US dollars. Even more worrying is that the money was quickly shipped abroad and has not yet been sold. If this corruption case had not been discovered, the front-line fighters would probably have been "scapegoats". It is alleged that the money will be used to purchase approximately 100,000 rounds of ammunition.
Head of State of Ukraine.
You can imagine what it would be like when a fighter does not have 100,000 bullets, and the Ukrainian army "has" 100,000 bullets? Originally, many people wondered why Ukraine, after receiving help from Western countries, never fought back, but was defeated by the Russians, it turned out to be because of this. The Ukrainian army is not hard enough, it really doesn't even have a decent piece of equipment. This kind of large-scale corruption is not the first time it has happened in Ukraine.
Former Minister of Defense, Ukraine.
For example, in January of this year, the Ukrainian military's grain purchase contract doubled or tripled, and a sum of money for the Ukrainian military camp was returned, after which 4 deputy ministers of the Ministry of Defense and Social Policy were removed. In August of that year, another large-scale recruitment corruption broke out in Ukraine, and the directors of military recruitment offices across Ukraine were dismissed. By November next year, the Ukrainian side had already made it public: at least half a million arms that were "missing". The problem of corruption has been plaguing Ukraine for a long time, although some "clean-ups" have also been carried out, but with little success.
War soldiers. Ukraine is a "small country that can't be supported", and a large number of European and American equipment have been sold in exchange for "cash". This may be good news for the upper echelons of Ukraine, but for Ukraine, it is a heavy blow. How can a soldier on the front line, who does not even have a single weapon, achieve victory?
Kyiv has always been boasting about what a beautiful victory the Ukrainian army fought, destroying ** tanks and killing a lot of Russians. However, the fact is: Ukraine is "rotting" from top to bottom, from the corruption of the former Minister of Defense, to the corruption of the top of the Ministry of Defense, and then to the current corruption, all of which are showing people that the war won by the Ukrainian army is likely to be just a "propaganda" and not a final result.
War soldiers. Ukrainian officials are involved in every department, for example, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine signed a contract with a Turkish company to buy a set of winter clothes, which was originally priced at $83 for $28, but at the time of the signing, the price was $83, and finally it was found that the boss behind the Turkish company was a member of the Ukrainian parliament. In many aspects such as arms, equipment, Western aid, conscription and mobilization, how can Ukraine compete with the Russians? In other words, how can a country that suffers from "corruption" defeat the world's second-largest power? No wonder those Ukrainians who fled to Europe don't want to go home, maybe they also know that even if they return to Ukraine, it won't make a difference, after all, the current Ukraine ** is corrupted, even if there are more soldiers, it won't play any role.
