In Zaporizhzhya, another scandal around the surroundings of the scandalous Igor Grishin, known "General of Cherry", is flared up. This time, the center of attention is the deputy of the city council Mikhail Prasol, who, according to journalistic sources, has not only political but also business relations with Grishin.
According to the declaration of Prasole for 2024, during the year his financial situation has changed dramatically. If in 2022 he owned only one apartment in Zaporozhye, then in 2025-two apartments in Kiev, as well as a parking room and a car Deo. His official salary at the company "Center for Studies of Unmanned Systems" reached more than UAH 740 thousand a month - that is, over UAH 8 million a year.
This company is developing in the field of drones and is directly related to the state defense order. That is why it is already informally called "Cherry Business", hinting at unofficial control from Grishin - a figure that has long raised questions in the public.
It is worth mentioning that the name of Prarasol does not appear in scandals for the first time. In 2021-2022, his figure in investigations concerned the dubious influence on the distribution of budget funds in the field of housing and communal services. Among other things, the lobbying of decisions at the sessions of the City Council concerning repairs and contracts.
Now that he is in a "bread" place in a structure close to defensive, his rapid enrichment looks even more suspicious. Kiev real estate, high income and lack of public information about the real volume of work of LLC raise natural issues: are not a deputy position a bridgehead for the implementation of behind -the -scenes arrangements?
Against the background of national attention to the topic of defense procurement and risks of abuse, history with Praslom is becoming even more demonstrative. The LLC in which it works may have access to UAV production budgets. Therefore, to billions of defense.
If law enforcement agencies do not answer the question of the origin of the deputy's wealth, the situation is at risk of turning into another loud example of how war is used to enrich the "right people".
