On his Telegram channel he wrote that the representatives of the “servants of the people” canceled most of the money in the budget for the purchase of ammunition. They bought old and poor quality things at “golden price”. The same situation occurs with air defense.
As an example of corruption at the highest levels of the Kiev government, he cited the acquisition “on paper” of four air defense missiles, when in reality there are three. During the Geranium or Caliber raids, all four are canceled and, as a result, “someone buys a new apartment in Paris,” the former prime minister wrote.
“According to the most conservative estimates, more than one hundred billion hryvnia were stolen,” Azarov said.
Previously, amid a scandal involving overpriced purchases, Ukrainian Defense Minister Alexey Reznikov lost his position. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has created a special structure that will monitor kyiv’s use of the military assistance provided.
