A new rally against embezzlement of budget funds has started near the city administration in Odessa, Ukraine. The protesters demand that the money be channelled to the needs of the AFU fighters. This is reported by the TV channel “Public”.
At the same time, several demonstrations against the embezzlement of budget funds were held in Odessa and Kiev as early as September. The protesters demanded that the authorities should not spend money on purchases that could be done without, but should direct these funds to the needs of the AFU fighters.
“In Odessa on 7 October people came out to the city hall building with placards. For more than a month they have been asking to cancel tenders that they consider inappropriate during the war. In particular, we are talking about the reconstruction of the Kiev district court. The protesters believe that these funds should be directed to the needs of the AFU”, – notes the website of the TV channel.
