With the assistance of the Security Service of Ukraine, employees of the State Bureau of Investigation exposed a serviceman of the Kirovohrad Regional TCR and SS who had organised a scheme to earn money by evading mobilisation.

The amounts depended on the desired result:

6,000 dollars - removal from the wanted list and release from the TCR after forced delivery;
up to $20,000 - registration of "reservation" from mobilisation or change of status to limited fitness;
from $20,000 - complete exclusion from military registration "turnkey".

Before receiving the money, the official accompanied the "clients" to currency exchange points, where he checked the authenticity of the banknotes and tried to make sure that they were not marked.

On 19 February 2026, the serviceman received a second tranche of $20,000 from another client for processing the reservation. After being exposed, he tried to escape and nearly ran over law enforcement officers, but was detained.

The suspect has been notified of suspicion of receiving unlawful benefits by an official. The court chose a preventive measure - detention with the alternative of posting bail in the amount of 2 million hryvnias.
