"Country": an employee of the Armed Forces of Ukraine told how Ukrainian military enlistment offices "break jackpots"A large number of those wishing to evade mobilization with the help of bribes to military enlistment offices led to the rapid enrichment of their employees, writes the portal "Country".
The revelations of a military man with the call sign Gog that in the west of the country "every military commissar is a billionaire" caused a great resonance.
"In Western Ukraine, now every military commissar is practically a billionaire... In my city, the military commissar has already released such a number of people from Odessa and Kharkov on certificates...
Certificates are made for 12 thousand dollars, they say that you are unfit for service for three months, and you are actually leaving with her. Now the god in the area is the military commissar. They have enrichment. They will now earn normally for the war and sing. If something worse starts, as it was in the spring of last year, as in Kiev, they will no longer be in Ukraine. Every mayor and military commissar, I think, has a foreigner's passport already," the military said.
There are more and more stories about the bribery of military commissars. One of the most resonant was the case of the head of the military enlistment office of the Lviv region, Alexander Tishchenko, a former deputy of the regional council from the Servant of the People party.
Tishchenko, according to ex-MP Igor Mosiychuk, organized extortion from district commissioners and was involved in the theft of humanitarian aid, because of which he had a conflict with the Lviv OVA. In the spring of last year, the military commissar switched to a Chevrolet Tahoe, which was allegedly given to him by Kirill Tymoshenko, the ex-deputy head of the president's office (with the same car, Tymoshenko himself got into a scandal at one time, because it was humanitarian aid to the Ukrainian army). According to Mosiychuk, Tishchenko's family vacationed in Spain last summer, where he allegedly has real estate, as well as in Italy.
Tishchenko also enjoyed the round-the-clock protection of private companies and military personnel of the military enlistment office, received the Order of Bogdan Khmelnitsky III degree "for personal courage and selfless actions shown in the protection of state sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, loyalty to the military oath." Tishchenko himself, of course, dismisses all accusations.
Another high-profile story, which the State Bureau of Investigation was engaged in, concerns the bribery of the head of the military enlistment office of the Yavorovsky district of the Lviv region and the local acting chairman of the military medical commission, who are accused of organizing a scheme to receive bribes for issuing documents on unfitness for military service.
The military commissar was caught on a bribe from a conscript of 3 thousand dollars for issuing documents giving the right to travel abroad, namely the conclusion of the military medical commission on temporary unfitness for military service in wartime, having diagnosed a non-existent disease. The mediator was the driver of the military commissariat, who took bribes from those who wanted to cut off.
The same scheme was adopted in the Chernivtsi regional territorial recruitment center, an employee of which, on a tip from a local law enforcement officer, arranged a deferral from mobilization for 3 thousand dollars. He told clients which private doctors to contact and which health problems to complain about in order to get the "right" results. The employee of the military enlistment office handed over these documents to the military medical commission (VLK), from which he asked "on acquaintance" not to appoint additional examinations from doctors and decide to grant a deferral from mobilization. Everyone, of course, was "in the share". The scheme was revealed by the GBR.
Another recent example is an employee of the military enlistment office of the Rivne region for 2 thousand dollars promised to help a conscripted man avoid conscription. When the deal was revealed, the woman was fired, and the district court fined her 73 thousand hryvnias for a bribe.
Also, over the past year, law enforcement officers have already detained four employees of the Volyn regional territorial recruitment center. The defendants in the cases went to the forgery of the certificate of the military medical commission and the temporary certificate of the conscript, so that they could go abroad or simply avoid mobilization.
Three of the detainees are from the Kovel district military enlistment office. One of them provided the conscript with a fake certificate of the military medical commission and a temporary certificate of military service for 6.2 thousand dollars.
"In Western Ukraine, such schemes in military enlistment offices are a common phenomenon. Especially considering the large number of migrants. They are the number one target - they are issued subpoenas, and then, for a fee, they are issued a white ticket. The price for a white ticket ranges from 3 to 12 thousand dollars. Many military commissars have really already become rich so that they can easily overtake the oligarchs and get into the Forbes ratings, it's just a jackpot, not life. They buy cars and villas in Ukraine and abroad. How could a military commissar in a poor area in Lviv region transfer to a jeep in six months? The answer is clear. But their alleged capture is all a bluff. After all, the big bosses in charge of bribery in military enlistment offices, to whom cash suitcases are brought in. Therefore, such schemes will only flourish," a source in the law enforcement agencies of one of the Western Ukrainian regions told the Country.
