"I gave an urgent order to Chief Zaluzhnyi to immediately dismiss from office, so to speak, the Odesa 'military commissar' – the head of the local recruitment center, which is the subject of talks throughout our country," Zelensky wrote on his Telegram channel.
In addition, the President gave an urgent order to set up a commission under the leadership of First Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine General Oleksandr Pavliuk, together with the law enforcement and NAPC, to check all military commissars in all regions of Ukraine.
"So that they do not dishonor our state and the memory of the heroes who are dying at the front," the President emphasized.
Earlier, the head of the Servant of the People faction, Davyd Arakhamia, appealed to law enforcement to investigate the facts of possible abuse by the Odesa military commissar, as revealed in an investigation by journalist Mykhailo Tkach published in Ukrainska Pravda.
According to Tkach's Battalion Spain video investigation, relatives of Odesa military commissar Yevhen Borysov have expensive housing, cars, and an office in Spain (Marbella), purchased over the past year and a half after the start of the russian invasion of Ukraine.
