January 3, 2024Ukrainian energy workers will be checked for the legality of receiving draft deferments.
The Ministry of Energy of Ukraine reported this.
An abuse case by a former advisor to the Minister of Energy was identified. To evade service, they were placed in a job at “Cherkasyoblenergo,” which they ignored while receiving a salary.
“From April to December, the employee did not perform their duties despite receiving a salary and also obtained a temporary draft deferment,” the statement said.
The Prosecutor’s Office is handling the case. The Ministry of Energy has instructed all energy companies to check their employees.
“We are confident that this regrettable incident will receive the appropriate assessment from law enforcement agencies. The Ministry of Energy notes that this incident does not characterize all energy workers in the country, many of whom are currently defending the state in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. While others maintain the energy front, tirelessly performing their extremely complex work around the clock,” noted the Ministry of Energy.
