Nearly 500 tons of humanitarian aid being concealed from the Ukrainian public has been uncovered in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, the Regional Governor said at a news conference on Nov. 24.
"Tons of food products sent to the Zaporizhzhia Oblast in 2022 have deteriorated due to criminal negligence," said Yurii Malashko, governor of Zaporizhzhia.
Authorities discovered a large amount of humanitarian aid, including food products, essential items, and other materials, stored without proper documentation at three different local enterprises in Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
Malashko notes that investigations into the illegal storage of aid are ongoing.
"We will do everything in our power to ensure hold accountable the individuals responsible for this criminal negligence."
Struggles with internal corruption continue to influence levels of military and financial support from international allies.
In recent months, Ukraine's Defense Ministry has been marred by several scandals related to the procurement of equipment and supplies for Ukrainian soldiers under the leadership of previous Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov.
In August, Ukrainian media Dzerkalo Tyzhnia reported that the Defense Ministry spent $33 million on "winter" clothing for the military from a Turkish company in September, which was actually summer clothing.
Ukraine's ongoing battle against corruption remains prominently in the public eye, aligning with one of the seven criteria recommended by the European Commission for the nation's integration.

No accountability anymore! Just send more money!
I think they get together on Zeeper Caucus Threads on Saturdays to worship Lil’ Z dancing and emote.
There, fixed it with a dose of reality.
That’s nothing, our own Pentagon loses tens of trillions of dollars and nobody does anything meaningful about it.

Massive amounts of fraud and waste! Who’d a thunk!?
It was being sold on the black market
How many Ukrainians have to die to cover up the crimes of The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate in Ukraine?
I've noticed a lot of skimming going on lately in the US as well.
And the moron war hawks on FR continue to press for sending untold, and unaccounted-for humanitarian supplies, billions of greenbacks, and unlimited military equipment to corrupt Ukraine, because of Russia, Russia, Russia!! If they're going to steal humanitarian aid, and stash it, what the hell do they think they are doing with billions of U.S. tax dollars, and military equipment?
Shades of Puerto Rico, IIRC
