Law enforcement officers stated the fact of theft of UAH 40 million from the fund for ATO combatants has been revealed in the activities of an organized criminal group in Dnipropetrovsk.

"To confirm the words that it is not a matter of politics, we can slightly lift the veil on one of the episodes, of which today this organized crime group is charged: they used the fund created to help ATO soldiers. While ordinary people were handing over funds to help ATO soldiers... these people organized and stole the money. Today it has been found out that about UAH 40 million was stolen from the fund aimed at helping ATO soldiers. These funds were then used for the purchase of valuables, luxury items, cars," SBU spokesperson Olena Hytlianska told reporters on Saturday.
