The head of the National Agency on Corruption Prevention, Oleksandr Novikov, sent a letter of gratitude to the Russian Minister of Defense Serhiy Shoihu "for his invaluable contribution to the fact that Russian funds and resources for the attack on Ukraine were stolen while accumulating at the border."
The NACP press service reported this.
Copies of the letter were sent to the RF Parliament, the Federation Council, and the Anti-Corruption Fund.
Evidence of corruption impact on the "combat effectiveness" of Russian troops includes:
protection of Russian T-72 and T-80 tanks, made of cardboard egg trays;
bulletproof vests, worn by members of the crew of the captured Russian armored car "Barnaul-T, were made of cardboard instead of armored plates ";
the use for the transportation of personnel ZIL-130. In addition to the obvious comfort felt by the Russian military in an open body of the truck while Ukrainian March frosts are making the trip even more pleasant, the speed of this vehicle and the bright aquamarine color of the body allow local, territorial defense forces to effectively undergo modern weapons training on light targets.
"As a body responsible for detecting and preventing conflicts of interest, we could not ignore the fact that cardboard bulletproof vests contained memos" On the procedure for detecting corruption and other violations while detecting conflicts of interest in military units, "the NACP said.
The Russian military "attacked" a hen coop in a Ukrainian village and stole poultry.
The National Agency on Corruption Prevention suggested completing the memo with step-by-step instructions:
In case of crossing the border with Ukraine, the Russian serviceman is obliged to:
get to the nearest settlement;
move away from the military equipment and vehicles to a safe distance and drop his weapon;
apologize for crossing the border without passport control;
wait for the Ukrainian military, who will allow him to call his mother;
wait for your return home.
The NACP Chairman expressed hope for fruitful cooperation in implementing the recommendations. He also noted that the letter was sent just now "because Russia still has foreign computer equipment that allows you to see photos." The original letter can be viewed at the link.
The Russian Ministry of Defense has not yet publicly commented on the letter.
