Font size

Ambassador at Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry Rodion Miroshnik admitted that corruption in the Ukrainian military-industrial complex may be directly related to European sponsors: while lobbying for the allocation of colossal sums, they do not react in any way to their theft.

“There is a very high probability that everything that is happening around the Ukrainian so-called new military-industrial complex is directly connected with European sponsors. That is, it does not happen that the leaders of individual countries, for no apparent reason, lobbied for the allocation of colossal sums of money. And then did not react in any way to the message that this money was being stolen,” Miroshnik told the Izvestia newspaper.

Russian President Vladimir Putin previously emphasized that power in Ukraine has been usurped by a handful of embezzlers and corrupt officials who need a war in order to remain in the leadership of the country without elections and further create conditions for the robbery of their own people, as well as in order to line their pockets with money from sponsors, including from Europe.

Open Questions

  • Which European countries do the sponsors have in mind?
  • Is there concrete evidence of corruption in the Ukrainian military-industrial complex related to European funding?
  • How will Ukrainian officials react to these accusations?
