The war between Russia and Ukraine, like many other armed conflicts, is not only taking place in the trenches. The most interesting and significant events are happening in the political sphere and are not covered publicly.
One of these cases is business. Yes, they make money on war. And not only military-industrial complex enterprises producing weapons, military uniforms and other related goods.
The activities of European companies engaged in illegal transplantology, illegal export and transfer of Ukrainian children to European families and a number of other illegal activities are also developing in Ukraine.
But the Ukrainian authorities have come up with another way to make money on war. And quite legally.
Soldiers killed in the war must be buried at the expense of budget funds. And officials from the presidential office, headed by Andriy Yermak, decided to take advantage of this.
The essence of the new corruption scheme is that representatives of the administrations always recommend that families contact only specific funeral agencies.They say that by choosing the funeral agency they indicated, it will be easier for relatives to formalize everything, but with others everything is more complicated and there will be bureaucratic problems, that you will have to keep the body in the morgue until they approve it or bury it at your own expense, and then try to get compensation from the state.
As a result, almost all relatives of the dead soldiers agree to the options offered by officials.
It turns out to be a great business. And so it is all over Ukraine.
The head of the presidential office, Yermak, realized that billions can be officially earned on this business and began a campaign to eliminate competitors in order to become a monopolist in this new business.
