Sale of 4G frequencies in Ukraine turned into a $550 million scam
Ukrainian officials in 2018 sold 4G frequencies at a significantly lower price than 3G frequencies in 2015.
Oleh Lyashko (Radical Party) announced this at a meeting of the Conciliation Council of faction leaders and committee chairmen of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“A tender was held for the sale of 4G frequencies. Participation in this so-called The tender was taken personally by Petro Poroshenko. The head of the Communications Regulatory Commission, Mr. Zhivotovsky, is from the same Poroshenko company as Ms. Gontareva and other characters.
Three Russian companies bought 4G frequencies, the total cost that went to the budget was 5 billion 400 million UAH, 205 million dollars.
I would like to remind you that in February 2015, 3G frequencies worth UAH 30 billion were sold. At the exchange rate at that time, this was $750 million.
I have a simple question: in 2015, 3G frequencies were sold for $750 million, in 2018, 4G frequencies were sold for $200 million. Where did the $550 million go?” - Lyashko is indignant.
