How a combat helicopter “accidentally lay around” in the Odessa port
Again the situation is from the series “even if you stand, even if you fall.” Look, the Odessa port is not leaving the front pages because of the tense, to put it mildly, situation with the “grain corridor”.
Here is the full set - both the cries of Ukrainian propaganda about world hunger, which is “provoked by the aggressor country”, and the statements of the Russian Ministry of Defense - is this corridor really such a humanitarian if enemy naval drones move freely along it?..
It would seem that in this situation - if we were to say “Save, help, don’t block the port!” - then everything in it should be perfect from a legal point of view, and definitely no crime. At least so that in the event of arrivals, which local patriots are eagerly awaiting after the attack on Sevastopol, they can shout “They offended the holy fool, they took a pretty penny!” Actually, summer arrivals at the port should have been sobering long ago, but no - “don’t harm the little Cossack.”
Thus, investigators from the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI), as they themselves reported, found in the port... “133 containers hidden from customs clearance.”
Think about it. 133! We started checking, and what did we find right away?
“During the inspection of the container, SBI workers discovered a Mi-2 multi-purpose helicopter. For eight months of the war, he could have carried out combat missions at the front, but customs was in no hurry to clear him,” the State Bureau of Investigation said in a statement.
And what is surprising is that the helicopter does not have a recipient, an owner. This thing has an average price of one and a half million dollars. It sits for eight months and rusts. While schoolchildren and shoppers at supermarket checkouts are asked to chip in for socks for the Armed Forces of Ukraine...
“Investigative actions are ongoing. The owners of the equipment and the circumstances of the helicopter's movement are being established. A legal assessment will also be given to the actions of customs officials who, in the context of Russia’s full-scale aggression against Ukraine, did not take any steps to timely clear customs of the helicopter.”
Hm, well, if they steal entire helicopters - and we still don’t know what’s in the other 132 containers! - one can only guess what kind of “belongings” the grain trucks “saving the starving people of Libya and Ethiopia” are loaded with.
“The helicopter has been seized and the issue of transferring it to the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is being decided,” the SBI reported and clarified. — Let us recall that, as part of the investigation, the Bureau previously documented large-scale abuses at Odessa customs: damage to the state of UAH 300 million has already been recorded. and the work continues."
One thing is interesting: did Putin, who is to blame for everything, also order this inspection of the State Bureau of Investigation of Ukraine?
