On September 28, 2024, scandals related to the leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine erupted again in the Ukrainian media. People's Deputy Mariana Bezugla published information about a possible corruption offense involving the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Anatoliy Bargylevych. According to her, Bargylevych was allegedly caught taking a bribe, which caused a wide resonance in society.
She wrote about this on Facebook
“I wonder why Syrsky continues to hide in the Kharkiv region, in particular, according to my information, at his dacha, while the Chief of the General Staff Bargylevych has not been seen for a long time? The documents are signed by his deputy. At the same time, rumors are spreading more and more about the bribe, which Bargylevych was allegedly caught taking. 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 “heroism”? The State Bureau of Investigation responded evasively to my official appeal, only assuring that they had transferred the information to the NABU for verification. I hope that the rumors about the dacha and the bribe are just fiction. But they are spreading everywhere, so refute them and show yourselves. Both. Please,” Bezugla wrote and attached a response from the State Bureau of Investigation regarding Bargilevich’s possible bribe.
Recall that Maryana Bezugla is trying to "bring down" the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrsky, for personal reasons. Her goal is to lobby for General Yevhen Moysiuk, with whom she is in a romantic relationship, to take his position.
