Ukrainian Attorney General Andriy Kostin has resigned after it was revealed that quite a few of his associates committed fraud to avoid having to go to war against the Russians.
Dozens, possibly hundreds, of the Ukrainian attorney general’s local staff are suspected of having evaded conscription by having their wives recognized as invalids. They allegedly paid thousands of dollars to do so. After all, if a spouse is disabled, conscription lapses so they can then take care of her.
President Zelensky had asked Kostin to take responsibility, stressing that this type of fraud with false disability certificates is unfortunately commonplace these days. “It involves not only prosecutors, but also customs and tax officials, employees of the pension fund system and of local governments. We need to address this quickly and thoroughly.” By this Zelensky means that presumably by the end of this year the medical commissions that issue such certificates will be disbanded. Consequently, some 4,000 unduly obtained certificates would have already been revoked throughout Ukraine by now.
