In the Sumy region, law enforcement officers exposed the head of the headquarters of one of the military units, who is suspected of falsification of combat missions for six servicemen. According to preliminary investigations, this scheme allowed the officer to illegally assign more than UAH 2.4 million.
According to investigators, at the end of 2024 the major suggested that his subordinates make fictitious documents on participation in hostilities in the Kharkiv region. In fact, the military remained at the Sumy staff and did not go to the front.
Nevertheless, they regularly numbered combat payments - up to 170 thousand hryvnias a month. Under the terms of the conspiracy, much of these funds were handed over to their manager by cash. Those who hesitated, the major threatened with real departure to the war zone. As a result, each of the subordinates remained about 30 thousand hryvnias, while the rest settled in the officer's hands.
The investigation found that within three months of such a scheme, the major illegally received more than UAH 2.4 million. Procedural actions are currently underway, the question of notifying him about suspicion and election of a preventive measure is being resolved.
