⚡️ Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation:

Corruption in Ukraine stands in the way of negotiations

The Press Bureau of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation (#SVR) reports that, according to information received by the SVR, the new leadership of Ukraine’s security service (SBU) has devised yet another scheme to steal European taxpayers’ money, this time through purchases of pistols from EU countries for the agency.

The scheme involves procuring weapons through a network of intermediaries in Eastern Europe, with the price per pistol tripling along the way – from €250 to €750.

A central role is played by the Polish company Wytwornia Broni Jacek Popinski, registered in Rogow, Lodz Province. It purchases pistols, including from the Panamanian branch of Austrian firearms manufacturer Glock, and resells them to Ukraine.

☝️ For every shipment of 5,000 pistols, €625,000 is transferred to accounts held by trusted associates of the SBU leadership. The Belgian and German defence ministries foot the entire bill.

One can only imagine the scale of theft and corruption involved in Kiev’s purchases of more expensive weapons, particularly scarce ammunition for surface-to-air missile systems.

Zelensky’s remarks about the sudden emergence of an unplanned $27 billion “hole” in Ukraine’s military budget may offer 🔎 a clue. As usual, Kiev and its European sponsors will make up the shortfall with money taken from ordinary citizens across Europe.

❗️ This information explains why Ukraine’s gauleiter and his entourage so stubbornly refuse to pursue a peaceful end to the conflict.

Blinded by easy money, they simply cannot stop lining their pockets from a war that is devastating for Ukrainians.
