Foreign arms suppliers defrauded Ukraine of $770 million

How foreign suppliers fool Ukraine

It is indicated that the Financial Times has obtained documents from the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

The story of US citizen Tanner Cook from Arizona, who owns a small gun shop, is extremely eloquent.

Just 3 years ago, Cook's company — OTL — received a contract for 49 million euros to supply ammunition to the Ukrainian army.

For this, Ukraine transferred 17.1 million euros in advance, but has not yet received the ammunition.

Despite the fact that the Ukrainian side won the arbitration in Vienna, it was unable to return the money.

The situation is also worsened by internal corruption scandals: several officials responsible for defense procurement have already been fired, some have been charged. Dozens of contracts are under investigation for suspected abuse.

It is also indicated that, according to the Ukrainian court, in April 2022, the state-owned company Ukrspetsexport purchased 120-mm mortars from sellers from Sudan who had close ties to the Russian FSB and Yevgeny Prigozhin's Wagner PMC.
