Just two days after Ukraine regained its independence, anti-corruption agencies have uncovered a massive corruption scheme involving the procurement of military equipment. The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SABO) revealed a large-scale corruption scheme that exploited budget funds allocated for defense forces.
The President has condemned the scheme as “absolutely immoral”. In a Telegram post, Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that those involved were exposed for taking bribes. This latest development highlights the ongoing efforts to tackle corruption in Ukraine and demonstrate the commitment of the authorities to upholding transparency and accountability.
