A loud scandal broke out in the Odesa City Council due to the disappearance of a significant amount of money allocated for the clearance of rubble after the arrivals at the Odesa port. The crime became known during the analysis of financial documents, which confirmed that 3 million hryvnias allocated for this work had disappeared from the city budget.
Nothing sacred: the war became a golden vein for Odessa officials.
Thus, at the end of 2023, the Department of Public Works of Odesa received the task of eliminating the consequences of an airstrike on a port infrastructure object - it is about grain terminals destroyed by a missile strike. According to the estimate, declared by the contractor for the execution of works, "MOLLBUD" LLC, it is UAH 13.5 million. The amount is more than solid, especially if you consider that it is about the demolition of rubble, and not about any restoration. However, the public works department, headed by former police officer Oleksandr Ilyin, met all financial obligations.
In fact, it turned out that the work was not completed in full, some of the structures were not dismantled, and the State Audit Service found a waste of UAH 3.2 million. The cunning Ilyin blames everything on the "Hubar" FOP, which undertook to carry out technical supervision, because there are no such specialists in the structure of the public works department, but people say that this is nothing more than another sprinkling of money on someone else's mountain. And how many arrivals were there in Odessa, after which it is necessary to rake the debris? That's the same.
Great topic. Who cares about war, but Ilya's mother is his own...
