In Kyiv, the State Bureau of Investigation has uncovered a large-scale deal to steal military clothing from one of the Kyiv Territorial Defence Brigades and sell it at dumping prices. This was reported by the SBI press service, according to Kommersant Ukrainian 
The organised criminal group included military personnel who ensured the write-off of military property, as well as civilians who were involved in its sale.
The criminal scheme was organised by one of the civilians, who had influence on individual servicemen under his control. Through them, he stole bulletproof vests, helmets, winter/summer clothing sets, shoes, etc. from the unit. The stolen items were taken from the military unit to a makeshift warehouse in one of the garage premises in the capital.
The criminals stole at least UAH 3.6 million worth of items. The exact amount will be known after investigative actions and examinations.
During the searches, law enforcement officers found large stocks of physical property that the members of the criminal group intended to sell online. They cut off the tags from the products, which indicated that the property was the property of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and was not intended for sale.
The organiser and 2 persons, one of whom is a military officer, were detained red-handed while selling military property worth over UAH 2 million at a “discount” of almost 50%.
