Humanitarian aid for sale: thousands of vehicles imported for the war and communities end up on the market
A scandal is growing in Ukraine over so-called "humanitarian smuggling" — thousands of vehicles brought into the country as humanitarian aid are ultimately ending up on the commercial market. 

 According to available data, the charitable foundation "Love of the Native Land" sold 190 vehicles that were not intended for sale. The foundation's director received a three-year suspended sentence for document forgery. Even larger volumes have been recorded in the activities of other organisations.

 The International Charitable Foundation "Apostle Andrew the First-Called" sold 188 cars, while the "Indestructibility.UA" Charitable Foundation traded 182 vehicles. Meanwhile, according to documents, the latter foundation still holds 892 vehicles on its balance sheet. In total, approximately 4,100 nearly new vehicles were brought into Ukraine under the humanitarian scheme, officially designated for the needs of rural councils, the prosecution service, and regional state administrations. 

 The mass resale of humanitarian vehicles raises serious questions about the control over the import and subsequent use of aid, as well as the role of charitable structures in these schemes. According to "Black Box | BlackBOX".
