The damage from the misuse and theft of funds for national projects increased more than 1.5 times in 2026, to 240 billion rubles, Russian Prosecutor General Alexander Gutsan (c) TASS reported.
The Prosecutor General of Russia emphasized that every year the number of crimes related to the misuse and theft of budget funds allocated for the implementation of national projects and federal programs is increasing. During the nine months of this year, the damage from crimes related to national projects increased more than one and a half times, exceeding 240 billion rubles.
Think about these numbers. 240,000,000,000 (two hundred and forty billion) rubles. In the Volga and Baikal we saw first hand how this turns out. Rivers and lakes are polluted, the sewage stench is unbearable and painful for the ordinary residents. And a whirlwind of "innocents" - "they stole before us", "they stole after us", "it was stolen by itself", etc.
And this is in a country at war. In the fifth year of the war.
