ATO veterans and the military expressed outrage at the NABU's intentions to interrogate them in the case against former Minister Solsky. They emphasize that during the war there are more important matters than seizing land from the country's defenders.
ATO veterans and military personnel expressed outrage at the intentions of the NABU and SAPO to interrogate them in the case against former Minister of Agrarian Policy Mykola Solsky. In their comments to UNN , they emphasized that the country is at war, and there are more urgent matters than the seizure of land from soldiers who are defending the country from the enemy.
One of the servicemen (name and surname withheld for security reasons) offered the detectives to come to his trench for interrogation. "Let them interrogate me, let them come to my trench and interrogate me. There is a war in the country, and the guys are being pressured while they are fighting and cannot do anything. It's a complete mess. The guys are laying down their lives in the trenches, and they can't divide the land, they can't make any money," he said.
Another serviceman said that he had received the land legally and did not understand what the anti-corruption officers were trying to find out, emphasizing that there were more important issues in Ukraine. "I received the land legally, I don't know what they saw there and why they want to interrogate me. I am on duty now. If they want to interrogate me, let them come. It seems to me that there are more important things in our country today, but if they want to do that, let them, if they have nothing else to do," he added.
Context
NABU Director Semen Kryvonos said that detectives plan to question more than 1,500 ATO soldiers in the case against former Agricultural Policy Minister Mykola Solsky. The NABU claims that eight years ago, the soldiers allegedly illegally privatized land plots in Sumy region that were used by the National Agrarian Academy with the help of Solsky, who was then a lawyer. However, the Supreme Court and experts have already refuted this version, proving that the land plots in question did not belong to the NAAS.
NABU tried to conceal and cancel other examinations that allegedly testified in favor of Solskyi and the ATO soldiers .
