    Earlier this year, the State Customs Service of Ukraine registered 653 cases of disappeared humanitarian cargo for military purposes. Some of the missing materials included plates for body armor, night vision devices, thermal imagers, drones, and military vehicles.

    How the fuck are they “disappearing” military vehicles, having a whole third of the donations just vanish is really messed up.

    Ukraine has got to get its shit together and really fight corruption in a more meaningful way.

      Reminds me of the movie Lord of War with Nicholas Cage. Ukraine has a history of disappearing weapons going back to the fall of the Soviet Union. It’s a hard culture to reverse quickly.
