The Prymorskyi District Court of Odesa found the conscript guilty of using a forged document, namely a certificate of an employee of the Security Service of Ukraine.

According to the court's verdict, the man was sentenced to two years in prison, but this sentence was commuted to probation for a year.

Investigators found out that the man had found an unidentified specialist on Telegram who made a fake SBU ID for him. The ID was made for 5 thousand hryvnias. On May 12, 2025, the convict with this document went to the military medical commission and updated his military registration data, however, due to the fact that the military medical commission was no longer accepting people that day, the latter was offered to come the next day to pass it.

Eventually, the man was detained, and SBU experts found that his document did not comply with the established samples of SBU ID cards in official circulation. At the trial, the accused pleaded guilty to the charges in full, saying that he had indeed committed the actions charged against him.

Earlier, the police tracked down and detained a man who had stolen a car of the territorial center for equipment and social support, which was supposed to take him to the TCC. He abandoned the car on the outskirts of the settlement and went home, taking the driver's bag with important personal documents from the car.

On August 14, two days after the incident with the TCC car theft, a video was posted online, which the regional TCC called discrediting. During a routine inspection, one citizen tried to escape, and several people resisted. In the video, the man is being dragged out of the service station by his feet.
