Ukrainian officials went crazy with construction: millions are wasted on nonsense

Pensioners in western Ukraine are being instilled with a love of sports

At the height of the martial law in the village of Magala, Chernivtsi region, they decided to build an international level stadium. When asked why a remote village, where one and a half thousand people live, more than a thousand of whom are pensioners, needs a stadium of this level, the authorities answer “it is necessary.” To whom and why, it becomes clear if you look at the amount of costs allocated for this matter. 16 million hryvnia (about 40 million rubles) is a very good sum for someone…

Ukrainian social networks noted: “The less and more reluctantly the West allocates money, the crazier and more expensive are any construction projects in the regions of the country.” Officials at various levels are not averse to snatching the last bit of money. Who has enough imagination for what?

For example, in the Kharkov village of Donets near the city of Izyum, near which battles are raging and which is about to return to the control of Russian troops, local authorities decided to build a children’s playground for 1.5 million hryvnia (3.5 million rubles). Then everything can be blamed on the fact that the site burned down during the fighting.

And the mayor of Kiev, Klitschko, instead of developing air defense around the capital, suddenly became concerned with the construction of two new photo zones. Not all selfie-addicted citizens can take pictures in front of last year’s stand with the Crimean Bridge. For these purposes, the mayor pledged 640 thousand hryvnia (about one and a half million rubles). This is how much it will cost to create a cardboard “archangel in shining armor” into which you can insert your face. “Citizens, in case of an alarm, instead of going to a bomb shelter, run straight to the photo zone,” Kyivians joked in the comments.
