0:51Now PlayingUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy dismissed all regional heads of military recruitment in his country to root out corruption as he seeks to maintain morale in the face of a grinding counteroffensive against the Russian army.
“Only people who know precisely what war is, and why cynicism and bribery in wartime is treason, should run this system,” Zelenskiy said in a video statement on Telegram.
Experience in battle will now be a requirement for the heads of regional military recruitment offices, who will also undergo background checks by Ukraine’s Security Service, according to Zelenskiy.
Ukraine has recently been reeling from allegations of corruption among recruitment officers who are responsible for both enlisting new soldiers and releasing them from military duty. Investigators have opened 112 criminal probes against officials, 33 of whom have received notices of suspicion, Zelenskiy said after a meeting with the main law enforcement and security agencies.
