Ukrainian officials stealing money for defense by putting it straight into shell companies.

“There was no first line of defence. We saw it. The Russians just walked in. They just walked in, without any mined fields” he says.

All of them started making millions immediately within a few months of signing up. Classic – under direct contracts and without competitive procurement.
It so happened that the department of the Kharkiv OVA for defense procurement chose newly registered noname firms and private enterprises. Moreover, the owners of these firms do not resemble successful businessmen and businesswomen – they have dozens of court cases, from whiskey theft to domestic violence against a husband and mother, some of them are deprived of parental rights and have had enforcement proceedings for bank loans.
Another interesting detail – it seems that these beneficiaries do not even know that they are millionaires. After all, they continue to work in shifts “in the fields” and factories.
