KIEV, April 26 – Radical Party Oleh Liashko has urged the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Security Service of Ukraine to launch a probe into abuse of power by President Petro Poroshenko and his associates during the purchase of MAZ trucks assembled by a plant of Bogdan Corporation belonging to the president, instead of Ukrainian-made KrAZ trucks.

"KrAZ trucks are salaries for Ukrainian metal workers, coalminers, haulers, budget-sustained organizations, military and pensioners. While buying Belarusian trucks we not only partially finance the economy of this country, but also the economy of the Russian Federation, which is in war with Ukraine. MAZ mainly consists of Russian spare parts and materials, as Belarus does not produce heat radiators, non-ferrous metals, flat metal and many other things bought in Russia," Liashko wrote on his Facebook page.
