Ukraine Uncovers Major Corruption Scheme in Drone Procurement

Ukrainian anti-corruption agencies have revealed a significant graft scandal involving the procurement of military drones, leading to the detention of several officials and lawmakers. President Zelenskyy highlighted the importance of these findings, calling the schemes absolutely immoral and expecting fair punishment for those involved. Among the arrested are a Member of Parliament and local government heads, connected to large-scale corruption in the defense sector. The investigations have prompted the dismissal of key administrative figures, including the heads of the Mukachevo District and Rubizhne military administrations, as Ukraine takes a decisive stance against corruption in its defense procurement processes.
