The family members of Mayor Orsk openly publish information about life in Dubai on social media.
The income is explained as follows : "During a short break in his official career, Vasyl Kozupytsia headed a private security company, which he registered in the name of his son Mykola. And he was considered a co-owner of the Orsk private enterprise until last year. A classic scheme. For decades, an official in power allows a disaster to happen, talks about how great it is to go to war to die, and sends his own son away from mobilization to sunny Dubai.
