While having corruption is bad, it’s very good they found out and doing something about it.
Hopefully they can make an example out of them.
Send them to the front line…
Not major. 4o million from a shell company, nothing to do with American donations
i think anyone taken for corruption especially if its affects the ukrainian military negative or the war in anyway should be punished to livelong prison and everything they own take away and make this basically a war crime in it self.
You have to really punish that very hard so to make sure people are not even tempted basically. And maybe give people that report and help solving corruption some nice bonus.
Because right now as long this happens in a war with ukraine this is to damaging no matter what .. not only are they stealing ukranian money needed for the war… but they also might end up in other countries using the corruption issue for not giving any money or support to ukraine anymore
The guilty needs to be charged for treason. Ukraine is in a war situation and shit like this will have an effect on the outcome of the war. Not only won’t Ukraine receive the much needed artillery shells, this might also lead to countries being reluctant to offer donations and aid to the cause. The right wingers in the US government is already using this as an excuse and touting “told you so.”
*Ukraine was ranked 116th out of 180 countries in a 2022 corruption perceptions index by campaigning and research organisation Transparency International.*
*But anti-corruption efforts are beginning to make a difference. It is one of only 10 countries steadily climbing Transparency International’s ranking, rising 28 places in a decade.*
It is vital that Ukraine be seen to take swift action against such treacherous snakes.
Anyone caught doing this during a time of war should be executed for treason, as the damage this will do world wide to Ukraines image could be irreversible & irreparable, it could even give those who want to stop/pull aid, the chance they’ve been waiting on to do so.
That is the only way of deterring those who would have such disgusting ideas whilst their so-called People & Country are being massacred & turned to rubble, never mind what Herr Putin will have his robotic media robots do to it through propaganda.
Glory To Ukraine 🇬🇧🇺🇦🇬🇧
This was for the purchase but no delivery of mortar rounds, for those who don’t read the articles.
Make them go clear the mines
War has a way of exposing, then burning out corruption. The Russians also had corruption exposed but I think that they are still trying to cover it up.
Corruption will never be defeated completely – as long as you have a human presence corruption will rear it’s ugly head at some point. All you can do is make what you’re doing as accountable as possible to make it difficult to engage in and easier to spot. Highlighting it in this manner is a good move only if the penalties are severe and made public also. Ukraine is making strides for sure.
> “not a single artillery shell” was ever sent
Not a native English speaker, neither a lawyer. But isn’t corruption the wrong term?
This is more like fraud.
Corruption would be receiving shells, but the official placing the order received money in return for the contract.
Here nothing was ever delivered, but money taken by the seller…
Treason during war should probably come with the death penalty. At minimum they go to the front as shock troops.
Ukraine had major corruption problems befote it became democratic, even before the invasion they still had many corruption issues. But they have made huge steps for trying solve that. The fact that this happend sucks but it’s good they’re transparant about it. How could this happen and how to prevent it in the future, that’s the main lesson from this.

Corruption is deeply engrained into the culture of Ukraine and changing this culture will take leadership and time.
Here, the government is showing some leadership against corruption.
However, this is just a single example of tackling the “corruption to get very rich” type of corruption.
The “corruption as a way to *get things done*” must also be tackled, which will be even harder.
Why is the the company not under government control and while at war under military rule
How can any decent human being do as such.
Money coerupta people but not in times like this.
I am glad they found them, I hope they publish the faces and names of all involved abroad.
If they can do that imagine what worse they could do.
