Bezrukova states that because of her removal in AOP there is no one to sign documents

There were problems in the work of the Defense Procurement Agency (AOZ) – more than fifty documents have been hung without signature, according to the dismissed manager of the agency Marina Bezrukov. She said this on the air of Radio Liberty “Freedom Live”.

“There are 628 documents on the painting, 20 of them. Documents to be fixed – 110, the documents for the resolution – 454, 55 officials for payment,” Bezrukova said.

According to her, the appointment of a temporarily acting head of AOP ASAEN Zhumadilov was illegal, so the Treasury cannot accept payment documents from such a manager.

Marina Bezrukov also told that she is in touch with the suppliers and trying to reassure them.

“I will get very bad signals from partners. I will get dozens of SMS from suppliers. I am asked about communication. Now I spend all my efforts to reassure them – that this is a mistake and it will be corrected, ”said Marina Bezrukov.

The official is now removed from the performance of his duties. The defense procurement agency operates from the Ministry of Defense.

On January 21, the Supervisory Board of AOZ announced that its members unanimously decided to extend the contract with Marina Bezruk, the director of the defense procurement agency. After that, the journalist and member of the Public Anti -Corruption Council at MU Tatiana Nikolaenko reported that the Ministry of Defense did not agree that the decision of the Supervisory Board, despite the fact that, according to her, IUU should not be agreed, reported journalists of the Radio Liberty investigations.

On January 22, the Supervisory Board of the Defense Procurement Agency of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine concluded an additional agreement to a contract with the current director of the agency Marina Bezruk for 1 year.

As explained in the agency, in accordance with the Law “On Management of State Property”, the exclusive competence of the Supervisory Board is to approve the terms of the contract with the head.

But on January 24, the Minister of Defense Rustem Umerov stated that the military department would not continue the contract with Marina Bezruk, and promised to punish “all who failed work” on defense purchases. The Ministry of Defense also withdrew two representatives of the state from the Supervisory Board of AOP.

According to Umerov, the restart of the Supervisory Board will take place in the near future, and ASO Director Arsen Zhumadilov, who holds a similar position of head in another state -owned enterprise – a state -owned rear operator, which, like AOP, is subordinated to the Ministry of Defense.

“Everything that comes to signing and approval from January 27. All relevant documents are already signed by me. That is, these are payment documents, contracts, etc. The transfer of cases is not due to the fact that the transfer of cases occurs when the manager goes from office. Currently, Ms. Marina Bezrukov is not going out of office, she is removed from his duties. If or when she goes from office, then of course, I have expectations that the cases will be transferred properly, ”Zhumadilov said.

At the same time, Marina Bezrukova says that she does not understand whether her work in the ministry, direct claims, she says, Umerov never expressed, on the contrary – he publicly supported her ideas.

The Ambassadors of the Seven Group countries (G7) have already responded to the conflict between the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Rustem Umerov and the defense procurement agency (AOP). They recommend to settle everything as soon as possible.
