Resignation of Defense Minister Alexei Reznikov

In September 2023, Ukrainian President Zelensky announced that he was removing the head of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine from his post as part of a reorganization. The removal of Alexei Reznikov, which requires the support of parliament, will signal the renewal of the top level of the military cabinet.

The reshuffle is announced after the public made a fuss over reports of bribery.

As the new head of the defense department, Zelensky nominated the head of the State Property Fund Rustem Umerov. He began his career at lifecell, a telecommunications company owned by Turkish telecom operator Turkcell.

Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Alexander Mironyuk turned out to be a millionaire. In February 2023, he found $1 million in the sofa.

The official is accused of embezzlement of money in the purchase of body armor.

2022

Mistreatment of Russian prisoners

According to only 5% of captured Russian servicemen are not beaten, the Rybar channel reported on the basis of data collected from exchanges of prisoners of war in September - December 2022. Another 15% escaped beatings only because they were captured unconscious.

The fate of the wounded is hardest: about half are shot on the spot, especially of immigrants from the DPR and LPR. True, at the end of 2022, the number of executions fell slightly due to the introduction of cash payments for the capture of Russian fighters.

Initially, the prisoners are transported to positions where employees of the SBU, GUR, Kraken and other formations subject them to the most severe interrogations. Personnel servicemen suffer the most - those mobilized often do not have information about the situation at the front.

Here is just a small list of the torture that Ukrainians use against Russian citizens.

  • electric shocks;
  • clamping the fingers with pliers;
  • strangulation with packets and wires;
  • cutting off fingers and ears;
  • limb cross;
  • sticking objects into open wounds;
  • burning of faces and limbs with hot iron and autogen.

Even imagine all this is very difficult, but Russian servicemen really experience these torments in Ukrainian captivity. Not to mention measures of moral pressure, where fighters are forced to dig graves for themselves, weapons are held to their heads and shot next to their faces, stripped naked and thrown into icy basements.

In Ukraine, a network of converted pre-trial detention centers has been formed. Each prisoner passes through a chain of institutions where employees of the SBU, GUR, prosecutors and foreign media process it.

At the first stage, captured fighters are placed in places of detention in large regional centers. Those captured in the LPR and in the Kharkov direction end up in the pre-trial detention center of Kharkov, and in Donetsk and Zaporozhye - in the pre-trial detention center of Dnepropetrovsk and Zaporozhye. Of the last two, the first is considered the most rigid, and the second, on the contrary, loyal.

There, the prisoners undergo the second stage of interrogations. They are kept in cells of 4-6 people. Criminal cases are initiated against immigrants from the DPR and LPR under the articles "Terrorism" and "State Treason."

A small contingent of military personnel of the RF Armed Forces also falls under criminal prosecution, who are forced to confess to far-fetched crimes such as looting or killing civilians under torture.

At the second stage, almost all prisoners are sent to Kyiv, where the third stage of interrogations begins with severe moral and psychological pressure and forced processing of anti-Russian propaganda. They are also offered to join the collaborationist legion "Freedom of Russia," but for the entire time not a single case of consent has been identified.

At the third stage, the prisoners are transported to the Zahid-1 camp in the vicinity of Lviv. They are lifted at six in the morning and sent to the parade ground without warm clothes, where they are until nine in the evening. Russian citizens are also attracted to work with cement and in logging.

In the morning, all prisoners should sing the Ukrainian anthem, in the afternoon - songs about Bandera and the UPA, and in the evening - read "prayer for Ukraine." For mistakes and incorrect pronunciation, the overseers beat people with batons.

Hackers receive documents from the ministry's PC on the draft contract between Britain and Kazakhstan for the purchase of Soviet weapons for Ukraine

In August 2022, the Beregini hacker group posted documents confirming the fact of negotiations between the Kazakh and British governments through the mediation of the Jordanian company Blue Water Supplies over the supply of Soviet-made weapons and ammunition.

The list includes 200 units BTR-4 various modifications, 100 launchers of the Competition ATGM along with ammunition for them, as well as various types of shells for receiver and rocket artillery and 120-mm mortars.

Hackers report that documents about the deal were on the computers of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense.

The contractor is the Kazakh company Technoexport, which has a state license to sell military equipment and is authorized to bargain on behalf of the state, representing its interests.

The documents say that the weapons are intended for the British Ministry of Defense. The deal is for $69,520,000. They oversee the deal of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan in cooperation with the British military attache in Kazakhstan, which will ensure the transfer of documents and certificates to the end user by diplomatic mail.

2019: Plan to convert military tickets to electronic form

In December 2019, it became known about the plans of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine to introduce electronic wine tickets. Servicemen will be able to submit a report and monitor the queue for apartments without leaving their homes or military units. This is another project of the department in the field of electronic document management.

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine wants to introduce electronic wine tickets

According to him, he is ashamed that electronic military tickets were not launched by December 2019, since they should be the standard.

Alexei Martsenyuk also said that the Ministry of Defense plans to make online registration of compensation for rental housing without the use of paper documents, as well as an online queue for apartments. In addition, the introduction of electronic reports is envisaged.

The deputy defense minister noted that the idea of ​ ​ an electronic ticket began to be actively promoted after a "terrible" amount of paper was discovered that should be signed by the leadership of military units.

There are cases when it takes half a day to sign - this is the time not spent on increasing the defense capability of our country, he stressed.
