"Ukraine's Multi-Million Dollar Defense Corruption Scandals Uncovered"

Ukraine's main intelligence and security agency uncovered a $40 million embezzlement scheme involving fraudulent arms procurement, implicating current and former senior officials of the defence ministry and heads of affiliated companies. The scheme involved the purchase of 100,000 mortar rounds for the Armed Forces, with the funds being transferred to a foreign commercial entity that never delivered the ammunition. The stolen funds have been seized, and one suspect has been detained, as Ukraine continues to grapple with corruption scandals within its defence ministry.
