Details: The heads of the State Bureau of Investigations (SBI), the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) and the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, as well as the Prosecutor General, the head of the National Agency for Preventing Corruption of Ukraine (NAPC) and the head of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NACB) of Ukraine, have presented their reports.
It was reported that law enforcement officers found evidence of corruption, in particular during the general mobilisation campaign, when they inspected the territorial recruitment centres. These instances of corruption pose a threat to Ukraine’s national security and undermine trust in state institutions.
In connection with that, the NSDC has recommended that Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, appoint the officers who directly participate in combat action as the heads of oblast territorial recruitment and social support centres on the recommendation of the chiefs of operational and tactical and operational and strategic groups of troops. These officers also have to be checked by the SSU first before being appointed.
The Prosecutor General’s Office, jointly with NAPC and SBI, were recommended to take additional measures to prevent corruption violations by the territorial recruitment and social support centre officials.
