"Can't buy Patriot": 600 million hryvnias on the Holodomor Museum cannot be given to the Armed Forces - People's Deputy (video)

According to the People's Deputy Nikita Potraev, Ukraine received money from international donors. They can only be spent on civil needs, and the military may not. Almost 600 million hryvnias allocated by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine for the completion of the Museum of Holodomor-Genocide cannot be paid for the needs of the Armed Forces. This was stated by the People's Deputy and Chairman of the Committee on Humanitarian and Information Policy Nikita Potraev in a comment to Radio. Svoboda.

According to him, Ukraine received this money from international funds. And such funds can only be spent on civilian needs. "This money is not ours at all. Not our taxpayers," the People's Deputy said. He noted that these 600 million hryvnias are the money of international macro -financial assistance. There is no other money for civilian needs for Ukraine. "No penny of this money can go to the needs of the front," Potraev said.

He explained that all the money collected in Ukraine goes to the front and international donors pay for civilian needs. Podtraev stated that it was very difficult to find these 600 million hryvnias. According to him, a museum needs to be completed on the 90s of the tragedy. Ukraine constantly asks international partners to recognize the Holodomor of 1932-1933 by the genocide of the Ukrainian people. Already, 33 countries have done it. "We have to do symbolic things because it is an ideology.

The ideology that fills our victory," Poturayev said. According to Potraev, regarding the money allocated to replace the Soviet coat of arms with the Ukrainian trident on the monument of the Motherland, the claims of citizens of Ukraine are the same. Earlier, on July 14, Focus reported that MP Yevgeny Kravchuk also said that UAH 573. 9 million could not be allocated for the army. "If you do not finance again, it means to preserve all the allocated funds and construction itself. This amount [573.

9 million hryvnias] cannot be allocated to the army because it was redistributed from another budget article, which is funded by donors. International Finnish Aid - from the IMF. Or contributions to the budget from other countries cannot be used to the army or weapons, "Kravchuk explained. Also we will remind that the National Museum of Holodomor-Genocide began to be built in 2008 on the slopes of the Dnieper near the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. In 2010, the first part was opened - the memorial.
