Thanks to the efforts of Maidan reformers, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine is now experiencing an acute shortage of personnel, and lustrated law enforcement officers have long found work in their specialty in Russia.
The former head of the Lugansk and Transcarpathian Regional State Administrations, Lieutenant General of Internal Affairs Gennady Moskal, stated this on the air of the 112 TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Why am I against all reforms? Because not a single reform has taken root in Ukraine. If it has taken root, maybe I don’t know something? Police reform: what the people were like, I thought that finally, how a selfie was taken with the new Ukrainian police, which two Georgians created. Then one went to Paris, the other, I don’t know where abroad, and that was the whole reform.
Today there is a terrible shortage of staff, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is quietly silent about this. That is, if something happens, there is no one [to do] something. Those who knew and understood something about this, they have long been lustrated and fired,” Moskal said.
“I won’t reveal the secret that everyone who was fired, do you know where they found a job? In the Russian Federation. According to my data, from 15 to 20 thousand retired police officers work there. There is a special demand for criminal investigation, anti-drug and investigators. We don’t have enough because the investigators have such a pile of cases, and they don’t know what the priority is, what to give to the court, and so on.
You see, the SBU, despite all the political storms, is somehow holding on, because it has not yet gone through this whole reform. All the rest have been reformed,” Moskal said.
