On Tuesday, January 24, it became known that the Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Vyacheslav Shapovalov resigned. His request was already supported by the head of the ministry Oleksiy Reznikov.
This is reported by the website of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
According to the statement, Vyacheslav Shapovalov was responsible for the rear support of the Armed Forces, and asked to be fired in order not to "create threats to the stable support of the Armed Forces as a result of the campaign of accusations related to the purchase of food services."
"Despite the fact that the announced accusations are unfounded and groundless, Vyacheslav Shapovalov's statement on dismissal is a worthy act in the traditions of European and democratic politics, a demonstration that the interests of defense are higher than any cabinets or chairs", - it is noted on website of the ministry.
We will remind you that last week the media published an investigation in which it was claimed that the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine allegedly buys food for the Armed Forces at prices 2-3 times higher than prices in Kyiv supermarkets.
