Ukrainian Corruption Center reports northern border defense funds were diverted to fake companies, letting Russians walk right across border in new Kharkiv offensive
Human Events ^ | May 14th, 2024 | Thomas Stevenson

Head of the Mezha Anti-Corruption Center, Martyna Bohuslavets, has written a report in Pravda asking "Where are the fortifications?" She reports that millions of dollars that were intended for the construction of fortifications in Ukraine were instead "transferred to Kharkiv OVA to front companies of avatars."

Bohuslavets said the Ukrainian Kharkiv Regional Military Administration (Kharkiv OVA) paid out funds to fictitious companies during the construction and fortification of the Kharkiv region. The report comes as Russian forces have broken into the northern region of Ukraine and the US continues funding the war.

According to Ukranian Pravda reports, the Russian military has begun to advance in the northern region of Ukraine where funding that was set for fortification was transferred to fake companies. The offensive from the Russian military launched on Monday with attacks on towns and villages, the Kyiv Post reports. A total of 7 billion hryvnias was spent there by Ukraine, according to the report.

This comes as the BBC reports that a regional Ukrainian commander in Kharkiv has said that the first line of defense was missing in a massive "betrayal" in the northern region of the country. Denys Yaroslavskyi, a commander in the region in charge of the Ukrainian Special Reconnaissance Unit, told the outlet, “There was no first line of defence. We saw it. The Russians just walked in. They just walked in, without any mined fields."

He told the BBC that government officials claimed to have built up the mines as the first line of defense at a huge cost. He told reporters, “Either it was an act of negligence, or corruption. It wasn’t a failure. It was a betrayal." He then added, “When we were fighting back for this territory in 2022, we lost thousands of people. We risked our lives."

"And now because someone didn’t build fortifications, we’re losing people again," he stated.

In March, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) reported on the lack of oversight on the funds going to Ukraine during the war. GAO found in its report from March that the Defense Department is lacking in its ability to provide oversight on the resources being sent to Ukraine in the war.

The GAO reported, "DOD does not have quality data to track delivery of defense articles to Ukraine. DOD guidance on PDA does not clearly define at what point in the delivery process defense articles should be recorded as delivered or provide clear instructions for how DOD service branches are to confirm delivery."

It added that full documentation of the funding being sent to the military effort has been lacking.

“I wonder where the money actually went.”

To Pravda, the publisher of this print

Zelensky owns multiple mansions. NATO elites may be claiming substantial amounts - basically the US laundering money through Ukraine, still. Some in his military leadership have been caught absconding with funds before.

The Zeepers always rave that the money is completely tracked and audited and that if you say otherwise, you're deploying Ruskie 'talking points'. But this isn't the first time whistleblowers have posted about diverted funds.

But here it is again, in this article:

"The GAO reported, "DOD does not have quality data to track delivery of defense articles to Ukraine. DOD guidance on PDA does not clearly define at what point in the delivery process defense articles should be recorded as delivered or provide clear instructions for how DOD service branches are to confirm delivery."

It added that full documentation of the funding being sent to the military effort has been lacking."

You do realize the Ukrainian Pravda (which was actually cited in the article) is not the same thing as the Russian Pravda, right?

The ironic thing is that our meddling (USA, UK, etcetera) has probably put Ukraine in a worse situation than they would have been had they just settled near the beginning of the war.

To quote my own words from 2022: "If they want to go to war against Russia, then let their legislatures vote to go to war, as it's supposed to be done! Let them put actual skin in the game, and go fight with their own soldiers, if they care so much for Ukraine! If our government thinks Ukraine is worth it, then put the vote to Congress and ask them to declare war against Russia! I'm sure you know how well that would go over with the American public. So instead, they just send money and weapons (but never enough to actually mean a hill of beans, because they don't want to actually put American lives at risk, which is worse than nothing in my opinion) to let the Ukrainians bleed themselves dry."

If you know the real history of Ukraine, you’d not ask the question.

If you knew the importance of Ukraine’s survival, you’d know why Biden, Romney, Pelosi’s all have business holdings there.

Short answer: the Kazarian Mafia.

The satanic banking empire behind “the Jews” that aren’t really Jews, and the reason so many in the USA are fighting tooth and nail to keep $$$$ flowing there, while we back here in the states pay the bills for the debt.

Rev 3:9

Rothschild/Rockefellers/Mil Ind Complex.

All the money flows through those fakes to the core holdings for these families.

Same with COVID scam money and other bail outs.

How much is coming back to the Biden election coffers?

Everytime I see a picture of Biden touching another human I think of his daughter Ashley or the other little girls he frequently gropes.

I bet they shower together. Biden sniffing and Knee-high finding his piano finger.

This is like a scene from Sluga Narodu. Only it’s not at all funny.
