Prosecutors of the Khmelnytskyi Specialized Prosecutor’s Office in the field of defense of the Western Region have referred to court the case of the vice-rector for logistics of a military academy who, according to the investigation, involved subordinates in the construction of his private house on the outskirts of Khmelnytskyi.
In 2024, six military personnel and two civilian employees of the academy built a two-storey house for the official instead of performing their duties, Censor.NET reports.
What is known?
The men continued to receive their salaries during this period — nearly half a million hryvnias in total.
In May 2025, the vice-rector was exposed, detained and served with a notice of suspicion. He is charged with abuse of office and misappropriation of military property under martial law.
During searches, law enforcement officers established that part of the property and construction materials — beds, air conditioners, heaters, laminate flooring and tiles — belonged to the academy and had been written off its balance sheet. The property and assets of the accused have been seized.
The accused has been dismissed from his position and reassigned to a unit of the State Border Guard Service in eastern Ukraine.
