President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said in a statement yesterday that the results of the inspection of recruiting chiefs in regional recruitment centers were discussed at the meeting of the National Security and Defense Council. Stating that government agencies such as the State Bureau of Investigation, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the National Anti-Corruption Agency submitted comprehensive reports at the meeting, Zelenski stated that there are currently a total of 112 criminal cases against the officials of regional recruitment centers and that there are 33 suspects.
REMOVED EVERYTHING
Explaining that all regional recruiting chiefs have been dismissed and war veterans will be replacing them, Zelenski said, “This system must be run by people who know exactly what war is and why bribery in wartime means treason. Instead, warriors who were on the front lines or who could not be in the trenches due to loss of health or limbs, but retain their dignity, are those who can be entrusted with this recruitment system. This decision will be implemented by Commander-in-Chief Zaluzhny. “The new heads of regional recruitment centers will be reviewed by the Security Service of Ukraine before they are appointed,” he said.
Emphasizing that every ‘military commissioner’ against whom a criminal investigation is opened will be held accountable, Zelenski said, “If the dismissed ‘military commissars’ and other officials who have no evidence of any crime or violation, if they want to protect their epaulettes and prove their dignity, they should go to the war front.”
Zelenski said that the military health commission system is not functioning properly and that the National Security and Defense Council will hold a meeting on this issue in two weeks.
