The deputy chairman of the Zaporizhzhia regional council, his assistant and a deputy of the council were exposed on suspicion of bribery for medical procurement. UNN reports with reference to the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office.

As UNN has learned from its own sources, this is the deputy head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Council Vladislav Kutsenko.

On February 19, 2024, under the procedural guidance of SAPO prosecutors, NABU detectives jointly with the SBU exposed the Deputy Chairman of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Council (who is also a deputy of the said regional council), his assistant and a deputy of the said council on providing an undue benefit to one of the directors of a medical institution for assistance in winning predetermined business entities in medical procurement, as well as for other financial transactions by the said medical institution in the interests of financial institutions.
