“We investigated through the treasury and other instruments where the 3 billion dollars of borrowed money that came already during the revolution, in early December, went.
More than 800 million were immediately redirected to pay off crazy debts with huge interest rates on loans to Ukraine. And others were paid - think about it, more than 2 billion dollars! - to all public sector employees, to everyone who had at least some involvement in power, so that power would survive.
Without this loan, the revolution would have ended before the New Year, without bloodshed. But the infusion and support of those who pathologically robbed the state gave them the opportunity to delay and lead to such tragic events,” Matios said on the Shuster LIVE program.
Let us recall that the Ukrainian authorities who came after the Euromaidan refuse to return the loan to Russia, calling it a bribe to the Yanukovych regime for refusing European integration.
