According to the investigation, the commander of one of the military units in Dnipro was fully aware that his subordinate – the logistics chief – had committed the embezzlement of military property, specifically 24 night vision devices. At the same time, the official took no action to stop the crime and did not report it to the relevant law enforcement agencies.

As a result of this inaction, the state suffered losses of over 3.8 million UAH. Prosecutors of the Dnipro Specialized Prosecutor's Office in the defense sector of the Eastern region informed the commander of the suspicion under part 4 of Article 426 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. 

Materials regarding the subordinate who committed the embezzlement of military property have been transferred to a separate criminal proceeding. Under part 4 of Article 410 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, he faces up to 15 years in prison.

The embezzled military property has been seized and will be transferred for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The pre-trial investigation and operational support are carried out by the Territorial Department of the State Bureau of Investigation in Poltava.

Note: according to Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent of committing a crime and cannot be subjected to criminal punishment until their guilt is proven in a lawful manner and established by a guilty verdict of the court.
