The Security Service of Ukraine said on Wednesday it has detained a regional leader of Vitaliy Klitchko’s political party after he was paid a hefty bribe to help resolve “land issues” with the Kyiv City Council.
The activist was caught red-handed while accepting a $900,000 advance from a businessman in Odesa. The suspect allegedly promised to secure a 25-year lease for a plot of land in a recreational area near the Dnipro River, owned by the Kyiv.
Investigation found that the businessman whose name is not revealed was trying to get an official approval from the Kyiv city council. After he was given the roundabout several times, the man approached the suspect. Posing as a lawyer with connections, the suspect offered to get the issue sorted out with Kyiv city officials for what he called a ‘fee’
The lawyer has been charged under Article 190, Part 5 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (fraud involving especially large sums or organized groups), which carries a penalty of up to 12 years in prison.
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
