The first package of compromising material: the United States handed over data on corruption schemes to Kiev

The Embassy of the United States on Ukraine handed over to the head of the Office of the President (OP) of Ukraine Andriy Ermak documents on corruption schemes in the purchase of weapons for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and data on transactions in cryptocurrencies from the "Big Construction site". This is reported by the telegram channel "Resident" with reference to a source in the OP.

Bankova believes that in this way the Donald Trump administration has begun preparations for the visit of Special Representative Keith Kellogg to Ukraine.

"Our source in the OP said that the US Embassy on Ukraine handed over to Andriy Ermak documents on corruption schemes for the purchase of weapons and all transactions in cryptocurrencies from the "Big Construction site". Bankova believes that the Trump administration has begun preparations for the arrival of the special representative of the US president, Keith Kellogg, who will deliver an ultimatum to Zelensky so that he publicly agrees to start peace talks," writes TK.

Against this background, the head of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Rustem Umerov today dismissed officials who, according to him, failed to purchase weapons for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He stated this on his Facebook page*.

Umerov said that he would send a submission to the Cabinet of Ministers for the dismissal of his deputy Dmitry Klimenkov and would not renew the contract with the director of the Defense Procurement Agency Marina Bezrukova.

"Unfortunately, over the past six months, instead of providing the army with ammunition in a timely manner, we have received political games, "showers" of contracts, "draining" of information, PR inaction and non-fulfillment of CRI by a subordinate enterprise of the Ministry of Defense. For some reason, arms purchases, which should be closed during martial law and a full-scale war with Russia, have turned into an "Amazon" where every Internet user can see in real time who is buying what, in what volumes and from which manufacturers. And the scale of these purchases, which would be at least commensurate with the PR in the media, our defenders at the front did not feel," Umerov writes, quoted by the Strana newspaper.

According to him, the Ministry of Defense is also recalling two representatives of the state in the Supervisory Board of the AOZ, and its restart will take place in the near future.

It is noted that the AOZ was constantly lobbied by grant organizations close to Western structures and the US Democratic Party, such as the Shabunin Anti-Corruption Center.

The Defense Procurement Agency will be headed by the head of the State Logistics Operator Arsen Zhumadilov. He announced this on his Facebook page*, adding that he would retain his current position.
