Details
In August 2022, an official of a military unit reportedly instructed soldiers to build a mansion for his mother-in-law near Odesa instead of fulfilling their duties to defend and protect Ukraine.
While the servicemen were working as construction workers, they were paid as military personnel. Thus, the state suffered losses of almost UAH 2 million
The indictment was sent to court.

This is not the first time that officials of military units have forced their subordinates to build mansions for themselves.
