The declared funds are supposed to be spent on garbage containers and special equipment

The Russian occupiers are going to spend 1.3 billion rubles on the equipment of garbage dumps in the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhya and Kherson regions.

As the Center of National Resistance reports, the Russian government has come up with yet another corrupt scheme to embezzle funds from the temporarily occupied territory.

"In fact, the occupiers want to turn the temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories into a landfill for Russian garbage. They plan to take waste there from the territory of the Russian Federation. The declared 1.3 billion rubles are supposed to be spent on garbage containers and special equipment. However, they will actually use equipment and equipment stolen from Ukrainian utility companies on TOT. And the funds will be laundered through front companies under the personal control of the head of the government of the Russian Federation, Mishustin," the Central Security Service reported.

Experts note that the occupiers are not concerned about the issue of the civilian population on the TOT and where the garbage will be taken. The key is to have time to embezzle funds before the moment of deoccupation of Ukrainian territories.

As EcoPolitic reported earlier, experts drew a map of how Russian occupiers are destroying Ukrainian forests.
