During the war, he amassed $1 million: the SBU has detained the chief psychiatrist of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The Security Service of Ukraine has detained the chief psychiatrist of the Armed Forces, who also serves as the deputy chairman of the Central Military Medical Commission (VVK). He was responsible for determining the fitness for service.

This was reported by RBK-Ukraine citing the press service of the SBU.

According to sources from RBK-Ukraine in law enforcement, Oleg Druzy has been detained.

The official has "earned" over 1 million dollars during the full-scale invasion.

Furthermore, he did not declare the corresponding assets in his declaration and registered them under the names of his wife, daughter, sons, and other individuals.

The investigation revealed that between 2022 and 2024, the suspect acquired a private house in the Obukhiv district of Kyiv region; 2 apartments in Kyiv; an apartment in Odesa; 2 plots of land in the Obukhiv district; a BMW X7 2024 model; a BMW X7 2022 model; a BMW X5 2023 model; a BMW X3 2022 model; and other properties.

During the searches, 152,000 dollars and 34,000 euros were also found.

The suspect is currently being prepared for a notification of suspicion under Article 368-5 (illegal enrichment) and Article 366-2 (declaration of false information) of the Criminal Code. This carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison.

Scandals involving VVK

Since the onset of the full-scale invasion, VVK and the Territorial Centers for Recruitment and Social Support (TCK) have frequently found themselves at the center of scandals. For instance, on January 19, the police uncovered a group of VVK doctors in Dnipro. The individuals involved were allegedly accepting bribes to falsely declare HIV status for military personnel in order to remove them from the records.

On January 17, a video surfaced on social media, in which representatives of TCK were accused of allegedly beating a taxi driver and damaging his vehicle, supposedly occurring in Kharkiv. However, this information is not accurate.
