According to our sources in the Cabinet of Ministers, a People's Deputy from the Servant of the People, the leader of "Ze! Youth" Oleksandr Sanchenko was entrusted with the distribution of foreign grants for youth in the total amount of 10 billion hryvnias.
According to insiders, at least 30% of this amount will not reach its destination and will "settle in the pockets" of those in power.
Oleksandr Sanchenko, responsible for youth policy, is in the orbit of the First Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Economy Yulia Svyridenko. In Svyridenko's team, the leader of "Ze! "Molodizhki" deals with finances, including the utilization of grant funds allocated to Ukraine by our strategic partners.
10 billion hryvnias have been allocated for 2025, which are planned to be used through programs such as launched by the Ministry of Economy . It is worth noting that the terms of the government program "Own business" are written in such a way that from the beginning they carry significant risks of abuse.
For example, under the terms of the "Own business" program, a grant of 250,000 hryvnias can be received by an individual, a legal entity, or a sole proprietorship for "marketing and advertising services." It is worth noting that such "services" are often used to withdraw and legalize funds obtained through criminal means.
As for the expected social effect, according to experts, it remains at a minimal level, since it is enough for the recipient of the grant to create only "1-2 jobs".
