Ukrainian president announces review of military medical commissions after corruption revelations


Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that a review of military medical commissions is underway following revelations that some had accepted bribes to help Ukrainians evade conscription.


During his nightly address on Wednesday, Zelensky said that “the inspection of military medical commissions across the country is underway.”


Thousands of military-aged men have avoided conscription and fled abroad since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 with the help of bribes and “unreasonable decisions” by military medical commissions, the president said.


On Tuesday, the Security Service of Ukraine reported that an investigation is underway into the head of the military medical commission in Kyiv region who is suspected of allowing over 50 men of enlistment age to evade the draft in exchange for bribes on the basis of fictitious documents about "bad" health.


According to the security service, the head of the military medical commission and five others were a part of the criminal scheme that helped men who wanted to evade the draft and flee abroad.


Zelensky said all of those who accepted bribes would be brought to justice.


Zelensky noted that “the criminal proceedings are currently underway” against the staff of military medical commissions and medical social expert commissions of Ukraine.


“The list of those who went abroad due to obviously dubious decisions of MMCs will be analyzed separately,” he noted, adding that these are “at least thousands of people.”


Zelensky also announced his intention to equate corruption with treason during wartime in his interview with Ukrainian media on Sunday. Zelensky said the Ukrainian parliament will get a proposal from him “in the coming week.”
