The Ukrainian army is exposed to buying military uniforms at a high price, and the Ukrainian defense minister says "false news"

2023-08-29

According to Agence France Presse, Ukrainian Defense Minister Aleksi Leznikov denied emerging allegations of corruption related to military supplies on August 28th. Earlier, some media reported that in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the price of Ukrainian military uniforms was falsely high. It is reported that the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence signed a contract with a Türkiye company to supply winter combat clothes at the end of last year, but the price has tripled since the contract was signed. Reported that Ukrainian journalists also found that this winter clothing can be bought at a lower price in Türkiye. These reporters also said that one of the shareholders of this Türkiye company was Alexandre Kasai, the nephew of Gennady Kasai, who belonged to the same political party as Ukrainian President Zelensky. According to the report, Leznikov rebuked these allegations as false news and stated that the prices on the bill were consistent with those on the advertisement. Leznikov said at a press conference, "I urge everyone to approach this report critically and responsibly because it misleads society and, worse yet, our partners because if you look at it outside of this matter, you would say it's a disaster." Leznikov insisted, "Everything is done in accordance with public procurement laws and bidding procedures. The report pointed out that a corruption scandal involving military supplies led to the dismissal of some senior Ukrainian officials in January. At that time, the media exposed a contract signed by the Ukrainian Ministry of National Defense to purchase military food, which was also inflated in amount. In that incident, Leznikov acknowledged that the anti-corruption agency of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense had "failed to complete its mission". (Compilation/Compilation)
