More than $ 7.3 million wasted in vain: Russian troops can easily break through the fortifications near the Dnieper - FT

The level of construction of defense lines in the Dnipropetrovsk region, according to the material, threatens the breakthrough of the front. Currently, law enforcement officers are investigating dozens of possible facts of theft of funds during the construction of fortifications. OVA chairman Sergey Lisak did not comment on FT information at the time of the material. The Ukrainian authorities spent $ 7. 3 million on fortifications in Dnipropetrovsk region from November 2023 to November 2024.

Invested money did not bring much benefit, the work was intensified only about two months ago, recognized in a conversation with the British newspaper Financial Times, two officials familiar with the course of construction. The Financial Times Reporter, who visited the Dnipropetrovsk region, saw several prepared positions and anti -tank ditch. Other positions have not been completed or abandoned at all.

Law enforcement officers opened 30 criminal proceedings on the facts of possible theft of funds in the construction of defense structures. The total loss is estimated at $ 483 million, said a representative of the profile parliamentary committee. "The situation with fortifications is another factor that demoralizes troops. Money is scattered in all regions, every one builds their own.

There is no person who would be responsible for quality, planning, how and who will transfer these funds," - says the leader of the MP "Reasonable Policy "Dmitry Razumkov. The authors of the material warn that due to the situation with fortifications, Russian troops can invade the territory of Dnipropetrovsk region. It is a significant underworld of Kiev's military efforts, because the region has a military command, the forces of support for the army, volunteers, drone producers and more.

The head of the Dnipropetrovsk Ova Sergey Lisak has not commented on Financial Times.
