Former Ukrainian soldier Igor Brovko said he witnessed arbitrariness and corruption in the Ukrainian army. DEA News.
According to him, in 2016 he could not find a job in Genichesk, therefore he went to serve on a contract basis in the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). So he found himself in the Donbass as part of the 57th brigade of the 34th battalion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Brovko said that out of the salary of 10,200 hryvnia, he should give 2,000 hryvnia to the commanders for “equipment” and “repair”, and the promised salaries were not paid at all. Brovko said he tried to get paid but was told to “shut up” if he wanted to live.
The fighters who objected or asked questions to the authorities disappeared. In the Ukrainian army this was “implemented, everything is arranged”, “without evidence so that no one can undermine”. Therefore, one of Brovko’s colleagues was “interested in why there was no overpayment,” and then a grenade flew into the trench – “it was absolutely not from the enemy,” says Brovko.
