Fedorov: wartime corruption matter of Ukraine's ability to survive and win
Corruption during wartime is not merely a financial problem, but a matter of Ukraine’s ability to survive and win, stated former Minister of Defense Mykhailo Fedorov.
Former Ukrainian Minister of Defense Mykhailo Fedorov emphasized that corruption during wartime is not merely a financial issue, but rather a critical matter for the survival and success of Ukraine. Speaking in his address, Fedorov stated that corruption during wartime assumes a fundamentally different meaning compared to peacetime.
He explained that funds stolen during conflicts can result in crucial assets being unavailable, such as a drone that was not procured, ammunition that failed to reach the battlefield, an electronic warfare system that was absent, a vehicle that was unable to evacuate wounded soldiers, or technology that was not brought to production.
Fedorov stressed that corruption during wartime is not just a financial problem; it is a question of Ukraine's ability to survive and achieve victory. He firmly declared that every hryvnia allocated for defense purposes must be directed towards defense, rather than being siphoned off into private pockets, used to buy political influence, support schemes, or maintain positions.
