MP Bezuhla accused ‘Suspilne’ of employing men part-time to obtain military deferment

Member of Parliament Mariana Bezuhla stated that the public broadcaster “Suspilne” (funded by the budget of Ukraine) hires men part-time in order for them to receive military deferment.

“I have learned from several sources about the existence of a scheme where men are hired by ‘Suspilne’ for half-time positions in order to obtain a military deferment. However, according to documents, these individuals are employed full-time. This raises the question: are they sharing money for this arrangement and with whom? Why does the supervisory board not notice this scheme?” Bezuhla wrote.

According to her, under this scheme, the son of the chairman of the supervisory board of “Public Broadcasting,” Svitlana Ostapa, received deferment from the army.

Recall that the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine has confirmed the status of “critically important for the functioning of the economy and ensuring the livelihoods of the population in a special period” for the TV channels participating in the telethon.
