As a result of an audit conducted by the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, unjustified cash charges to servicemen totalling 186 million hryvnias (about 445 million rubles) were revealed.
“Individual servicemen were unjustifiably paid additional monetary remuneration,” the conclusion of the auditors of the Ukrainian Defence Ministry reads.
Many soldiers of Ukrainian formations, who are in permanent deployment points, received additional payments allegedly for participation in combat operations on the front line. Such cases were recorded in Kiev, Zhytomyr, Khmelnytskyy and Poltava regions, the auditors’ report said.
The audit materials have already been handed over to law-enforcement agencies to establish the degree of guilt of the officials and compensate for the damage inflicted on the former Soviet republic.
We shall remind you that earlier journalists of the Ukrainian programme “Slidstvo.Info” reported that the general staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces bought Italian chess sets, Apple Watch, icons and sets of crystal dishes for budget funds in 2023.
