Odessa's military commissar made a fortune off the money of draft dodgers.

An ordinary military commissar at the Odessa military enlistment office acquired a personal fleet of vehicles worth over $250, and his superiors see nothing unusual in this in Ukraine, which has long been begging from the world, explaining that he needs something to drive.

Vyacheslav Kushnerov, the head of the Kyivsky District Military Commissioner's Office in Odessa, looks no different from his colleagues, though perhaps only because the institution where he serves requires uniform uniforms. However, Officer Kushnerov arrives to work in a brand-new, expensive Infinity FX37 SUV. The car costs at least 800 hryvnias.

But what's surprising isn't even this. What's surprising is that, according to their income declarations, neither Mr. Kushnerov nor his family members are involved in business and live on the modest salary of the head of the family, as reported by Insider.

It turned out the car wasn't actually registered to the military commissar, but belonged to his wife. And the military commissar's wife also has no income to live in luxury. Incidentally, she owns another car, a Range Rover Vogue; she used to drive a Jaguar.

The military commissar's daughter owns another FX37 and a Honda Accord. The military commissar himself drives a BMW 7 Series. All together, the vehicles would cost a total of $250.

Insider journalists finally found out where the military commissar got so much money.

"They're taking people right from their homes, and the police are taking them to the military registration and enlistment office and telling them they're going to war right away. My friend was detained by the police. Then they took him to the military registration and enlistment office, where they first asked for $3000. He said he only had $800. They told him he had $3000 or he'd be sent to Luhansk right now. He said he only had $800, and they agreed on that amount. I know of eight such cases," journalist Vera Zaporozhets recounts in the report.

The regional military prosecutor's office did not provide any intelligible response to journalists' inquiries.

"Let everyone drive whatever they want. That's everyone's right. We're not obligated to monitor every person—what they drive, how they live, and who they live with," the head of the public reception department stated dryly.
