Experts assessed the call to transfer the collection vehicle of the bank being liquidated to the front
The frontline needs cars, especially those with armor. Volunteers are forced to look for cars all over the world, to make armor, while there are cars in Ukraine, and if it is possible to transfer them to the front, it should be done. This is how the experts commented on the military's need for armored collection vehicles, as well as the initiative to transfer such vehicles to the front instead of selling them at auction as part of the bank's liquidation.
"You have to use your common sense. Volunteers are looking for used cars somewhere in Europe, re-equipping them, bringing them here - with a lot of problems, repairing them, investing money, piling up some iron plates to somehow protect the driver... and all this at a time when there are cars that are not new, but much better protected - and this is a collection car. It can be used to evacuate the wounded, for example, which is very important. For transportation near the front. Not to go on the attack, but to be used near the front, where they will be 100% better than these recycled cars bought by volunteers from the EU. Because we lack absolutely everything. And there is nothing to think about, we have to make decisions. We have a lot of decisions that are not being made for some obvious reason. All these artificial obstacles and barriers need to be removed. Of course, collection vehicles are suitable. Any transport will be useful at the front. And if it's protected, it's twice as good," says political scientist Oleksandr Kochetkov.
Ivan Yakubets, former commander of the Airborne (Air Assault) Forces of Ukraine, reserve colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and military expert, emphasized that vehicles are constantly needed at the front.
"Our soldiers need cars on a regular basis, and it is cars for evacuating the wounded that are often lacking, and the speed is a very important issue here. The faster we help the wounded, the more likely they are to survive. The chances increase tenfold with the availability of a car," emphasized Yakubets.
He agreed that if it is possible to transfer the cars to the military instead of selling them at auction, this issue should be raised. Yakubets noted that this would definitely be better than selling a car for a penny at an auction and then reselling it at a higher price.
Recall
Co-founder of Concord Bank Olena Sosiedka appealed to the Deposit Guarantee Fund to not hold an auction for the sale of the bank's armored collection car, but to donate it to the military.
Concorde Bank has been under the management of the DGF since the NBU announced its decision to liquidate the bank. Currently, according to the Fund, the payment of the claims of the 9th priority of creditors (shareholders and related parties) is already underway - this is the last priority. At the time of the start of the liquidation procedure, the bank was profitable, and there was no need to sell assets to make all payments. However, the DGF decided to hold an auction to sell the bank's collection vehicle.
The official website of the Guarantee Fund contains information on the auction for the sale of a light-duty cargo van - B Volkswagen Transporter (specialized with armored protection PCSA-3, year of manufacture - 2013) on January 3, 2024. The vehicle also comes with tires, load-bearing vests and protective plates belonging to Concord Bank.
"We are appealing to the Foundation to transfer this vehicle to the military as well, because thanks to the armor, such vehicles are able to perform operations related to the approach directly to the ground.
For our team, charity is a way of life. We hope that the Foundation will listen to our request and take into account the needs of the military," wrote Olena Sosiedka.
She also added that the bank's shareholders are ready to reduce the payments due to them by the amount of the car's value.
