The investigation established that from March to October 2023, the serviceman, improperly performing his official duties, did not verify the information about the direct participation of subordinates in combat operations and issued orders for the payment of additional rewards amounting to 30,000 UAH to 56 servicemen of the unit, who were not involved in performing combat (special) tasks and were at their permanent deployment point, performing their functional duties.
