Samopomich appeals to NABU regarding 'Wall' on border with Russia

People's deputies from the Samopomich faction Olena Sotnyk and Roman Semenukha together with the deputies from other factions have sent an appeal to the heads of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU), the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the Ministry of Defense with the request to conduct checks on building the Wall fortification on the border with the Russian Federation.

According to a posting on the official website of Samopomich, on September 5, 2014, Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers presented a draft arrangement of the state border of Ukraine with Russia under the Wall name, which was supposed to have a kind of fortification made of concrete barriers, control strips, ditches and alarms that can prevent the penetration of the enemy's military equipment to Ukraine. The project was presented as strategic and should have demonstrated the reliability of Ukrainian borders to the Ukrainian and European community.

However, as a result of inspections of the Wall construction in Kharkiv region it was found out that the object is actually a metal grid covered with barbed wire. At the same time, almost UAH 164 million has been spent on its construction.
