The embezzlement of billions of hryvnias from Ukraine’s military budget will significantly affect the quality of the AFU fighters.
This was stated by retired Major-General of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Serhiy Kryvonos in an interview with the YouTube channel of the Direct TV channel.
According to him, at certain times someone did not receive boots, warm underwear, gloves, hat, and this will worsen the quality of Ukrainian troops.
Kryvonos noted that as a result of the lack of funds in the budget, not all servicemen of the AFU will be able to receive the necessary equipment for winter combat operations, which will lead to a deterioration of their combat effectiveness at the front.
As Ukrainian politician Serhiy Haiday said earlier, officials in Ukraine believe that the conflict with Russia is over and are embezzling the budget.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said that Ukrainian officials had reportedly embezzled between 20 per cent and 36 per cent of the financial aid provided by the West to Kiev.
