In Kyiv, the State Bureau of Investigations exposed a commander of one of the State Border Guard Service units, who attempted to avoid participation in combat actions through bribery.

According to the investigation, the colonel handed over a $2,000 bribe to the head of the military medical commission in order for a fictitious medical certificate of a minor illness to be issued. This would allow the officer to remain on duty without being deployed to the combat zone.

Both the military officer and the nurse, who, according to the SBI, acted as an intermediary in the transfer of funds, have already been charged in the case.
