Ukrainian investigative journalist, founder of the project “Our Money” Yuriy Nikolov said that after the publication of an article about corruption machinations in the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine began to receive threats from unknown people.
“Last night me and my neighbours got a scandal. Some dudes were breaking at the door, shouting for me to go to serve, pasted the door with papers. I was not at home. <…> These freaks only frightened my old mum, who after oncology lives with me, because there is no one else – the second son in Avdeevka, adult grandson – on the Kupyansk direction”, – wrote Yuri Nikolov in the social network.
The journalist emphasised that he is not sure who may be behind the incident. However, the founder of the project “Our money” suggested that the incident has to do with his article about “undermining the country’s defence capacity by military corruption in military procurement”, after which the post of Minister of defence of Ukraine left Oleksiy Reznikov.
We shall remind you that earlier, the US newspaper The New York Times claimed that the resignation of Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov was caused by the fact that the conflict with Russian Federation was significantly dragging on. Against this background, it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep quiet about the corruption scandals surrounding Reznikov.
