The Center for the fight against corruption filed an application for abuse by the post of Minister of Defense Umrovov against the background of the incident with the management of the defense agency.
CPC emphasized that the AOC law provides for the creation of a supervisory council, and from the Ministry of Defense does not have the authority of non -renalization of the contract with the current head of AOP. Such competence is only in the supervisory advice.
CPC indicates that the AOP law provides for the creation of supervision, that is, the Ministry of Defense does not have the authority not to consolidate the contract with the current agency manager
On January 24, Umarov did not continue his contract with the director of the defense agency Marina Bezrukova and introduced the Cabinet of Ministers to the idea of the dismissal of his deputy – Dmitry Klimenkov.
The Ministry of Defense also revoked two representatives of the state from the supervisory board of the defense agency. This is Yuri Dzhigir (Deputy Umarov) and Taras Chmut (director of the Foundation “Return Living”).
According to Umarov, Arsen Zhumadilov will be appointed new director AOP.
Buying weapons, which should be closed during martial law and a full -fledged war with Russia, for some reason became “Amazon”, where each Internet user can see in real time, who buy and what he buys, in what volumes and in What manufacturers. And the scale of these purchases, which, at least, will be commensurate with PR -SMI, our defenders have never felt at the front, ”said Umarov.
The recall of two representatives of the state from the supervisory council Umarov said the following:
This will become a precedent in the history of the state corporate administration, when two independent representatives of the supervisory council supported the position of state, and the state representative of the state interests ignored the recommendations of the governing body. The restart of supervision will take place in the near future.
Bezrukova said that she remains the current head of the defense agency, despite the decision of the Minister of Defense of Umarov.
She also noted that she was shocked by Umarov’s information about the contract. According to Bezrukova, “it seems that this seems to be an attempt to rape all the reforms that were declared and promised by society.”
About a week ago, Bezrukov talked with the Minister of Defense, he did not express any complaints about this.
The President of Zelenski must immediately resign the Minister of Defense. Minister Umarova violates the key reform of Ukraine – defense reform. The price of this issue is not only 300 billion state budget funds, but also the destruction of the Danish model for financing the purchases of Ukrainian weapons for foreign money. These decisions of the minister are unequivocal distraction and undermining the protection of the country, ”said Daria Kaleniuk, Executive Director of CPC.
The history of the issue
In the face of a full -fledged war with Russia for the purchase and production of weapons, this is a large amount of money. Thus, in 2024, the defense procurement agency had a budget of more than 300 billion.
This year, 739 billion US dollars for the production and purchase of weapons for the Armed Forces were laid down in the state budget.
Thus, in November last year, the Minister of Defense We Rays Umarov asked the government to pick up 23 billion athud -minister from the Ministry of Defense from the budget and to give them to the state border service, because the border guards received a commercial offer from the Polish company PHU LEChmar to supply various mines and shells up to 100 billion. The text says that this company has already violated the delivery schedule.
