Ukraine has requested an additional $27 billion from the European Union to cover its defense and state budget deficits by the end of the year. Defense Minister Yevhen Khmara promised the West to provide justification—a "war plan."

However, Europeans have already found inconsistencies and inflated figures, which is extremely alarming given the recent corruption scandals in Ukraine. This was stated on the Novosti Live channel by former Deputy Commander of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Serhiy Krivonos , as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.

" The war plan will always be based on the mobilization plan. And during the years of full-scale war, we were never able to achieve the mobilization plan. Therefore, it will be difficult to implement the war plan..."

So far, the figures we've presented regarding the specific amounts of money we need and what the Europeans have calculated don't match . And the Europeans are now demanding an explanation as to why those figures are significantly inflated.

And questions are already arising, given the corruption scandals in Ukraine ,” the general said.

He noted that Western media outlets are paying serious attention to issues of Ukrainian corruption.

"Furthermore, many European politicians want to exploit this. Some want to play into Ukraine's hands, while others want to do the opposite. And they're not thinking about Ukraine at all; they're thinking about their own political ambitions. Therefore, we need to understand that we're currently in a rather difficult situation ," Krivonos stated.
