“The instructions of the HEAD of state are being carried out, this is strictly controlled. We will probably inform the public in more detail based on the results of the investigation. We investigate objectively and impartially. The position of the head of state on these issues is known: to mercilessly eradicate corruption,” said Ivan Tertel.

The Chairman of the State Security Committee called corruption an absolute evil. “When it comes to this dairy business, they try to tell us that we overlooked it. But we know the state of corruption in neighboring countries, not only inUkraine. And in Western European countries this problem is very acute. People turn a blind eye to it and don’t see it for various reasons. In our state everything is different. The head of state makes fundamental decisions - there are no untouchable persons. Without a doubt, this position will be continued."

"By the end of the year, we will report to the head of state on execution. In our country there are no important issues that pass by the President, including this one,” the KGB chairman emphasized.
