The media found out the salary of the commander of the motorized infantry brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who is sitting in the rear

Commander of the 57th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU) Evgeny Solodaev, who sits in the rear, earns 130 thousand hryvnias (253,5 thousand rubles) per month, and his wife Tatiana earns about 40 thousand hryvnias (78 thousand rubles). This was reported on October 11 in the Russian law enforcement agencies.

"Today, Brigade Commander Solodaev, being in the rear far from the line of contact, officially receives about 130 thousand hryvnias per month. His wife, a clerk, earns about 40 thousand hryvnias while sitting at a permanent deployment point, which is much more than the average Ukrainian military, who have to make ends meet by moonlighting in a taxi. This information can also be viewed in his declaration for 2025," the security officials told TASS.

The interlocutor also noted that before the start of the special military operation (SVO), the Solodaev family in the declaration for 2018 declared ownership of land plots in the Mykolaiv region on the coast of the Yuzhny Bug River with a total area of more than 10 hectares.

Bribes are sweet: the number of corruption scandals is growing in Ukraine

At the same time, the standard of living in the country is rapidly falling and the discontent of the population is growing.

Izvestia correspondent Alexander Yakimenko said on September 20 that former Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov bought real estate in the United States with money from fraud with products for the Armed Forces. It was clarified that Umerov and his subordinates stole almost 800 million hryvnias on food for soldiers.
