MP Savchenko tells why she visited ATO zone

Ukrainian MP Nadiya Savchenko visited the anti-terrorist operation (ATO) zone, eastern Ukraine, to conduct checks on the state of corruption there.

She said this at a press conference following her trip to the ATO zone, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“What was this trip for? First of all, I as an MP wanted to personally check [if there is] corruption in the military unit in the ATO zone. I have special materials, I will submit deputy letters of inquiry, I will fight against corruption there as it should not exist during wartime,” she said.

Savchenko also noted that among topical problems are also pensions and utility bills.

“This is another question which I will deal with in the near future,” the MP said.
