On September 28, 2024, scandals related to the leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine broke out again in the Ukrainian media field. Nardepka Maryana Bezugla made public information about a possible corruption offense involving the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Anatoliy Bargylevych. According to her, Barhylevych was allegedly caught taking a bribe, which caused a wide resonance in society.
She wrote about it on Facebook
"I wonder why Syrskyi continues to hide in the Kharkiv region, in particular, according to my information, in his dacha, and the Chief of the General Staff Barhylevych has not been seen for a long time? Documents are signed by his deputy. At the same time, rumors are spreading more and more about the bribe that Barhylevych was allegedly caught on. This information quickly spread among the military and further worsens the already low authority of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine among combat units.
Will there be any comment or reaction to such "heroics"? The SBI responded evasively to my official appeal, only assuring that they had forwarded the information to NABU for verification. I hope the rumors about the dacha and the bribe are just fiction. But they are spreading everywhere, so disprove them and show yourself. Both. Please." - wrote Bezugla and attached a response from the State Security Bureau regarding Barhylevych's possible bribe.
We will remind that Maryan Bezugla is trying to "bring down" the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrsky for personal reasons. Her goal is to lobby General Yevgeny Moysyuk, with whom she is in a romantic relationship, for his position.
