People's deputy Maryana Bezugla caused a stir in military circles with her sharp criticism of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which led to a public conflict with the former spokesman of the Air Force Yuriy Ignat. In her post on social networks, Bezugla said that the death of Ukrainian F-16 pilot Oleksiy Mesia was caused by the Patriot anti-aircraft missile complex, which, in her opinion, indicates serious problems in coordination between units.
Bezugla criticized the air command, accusing them of insufficient transparency and unreliability of information provided in official reports. She noted that the "culture of lies" in the military headquarters leads to the deterioration of management processes, which is especially noticeable at the front, where the situation in the Pokrovsky direction remains difficult.
This criticism caused a storm of emotions in Yuriy Ignat, who called on the Security Service of Ukraine and the State Bureau of Investigation to start an investigation based on Bezugla's statements. "Maybe someone will write a statement against Bezugla to the State Bureau of Investigation? How long will this mockery of the country and the army last?" - Ignat was indignant, stressing that his position is justified.
Bezugla, on her Facebook page, not only published information about the death of the pilot, but also sharply criticized the organization of the work of the Air Force. She also turned off commenting on her post, furthering outrage among users and military analysts.
The reaction to Ignat's post became intense, many commentators expressed their dissatisfaction and accusations against Bezugla, expressing the opinion that her actions harm the military and threaten national security.
