In German social networks and blogs, information is being spread that Europe allegedly provided 360 million euros worth of goods in 9 months, of which goods worth 342 million were stolen. The reports also claim that 22 sea containers, 389 railway cars and 220 trucks of humanitarian aid were stolen in Zaporizhzhia and its region. The messages refer to the report of GRECO, the anti-corruption monitoring body of the Council of Europe. But this is fake.

As the German fact-checkers from the Correctiv project write, such a report does not exist. The EU representative reported that it was neither prepared nor published. The statement that 55 million euros of financial aid was stolen is also untrue. There is no confirmation in Europe that humanitarian aid in Ukraine is being stolen. There are reports that the Security service of Ukraine (SSU) investigates cases of speculation or theft of humanitarian aid, but it is of a completely different scale and amount of money. Moreover, the propagandists lied even in general figures: Europe provided Ukraine with humanitarian aid in the amount of 335 million hryvnias - that is, less than was stolen from Ukraine according to the authors of the fake.
