😀😀😀 Disability in Odesa has risen in price to 18 thousand dollars.
Police detained a 45-year-old resident of Odesa who promised draft-age men to arrange fraudulent disability status and remove them from military registration. For his services he demanded 18 thousand dollars. He was arrested while receiving the first half of the sum — 9 thousand.
For comparison, in 2023 year in Odesa region a similar service was asked for 6 thousand dollars. In 2024 year law enforcement exposed a large-scale scheme at the regional MSEC, where fraudulent disability cost 6–12 thousand dollars. At that time at least 42 clients were identified.
In 2025 year, similar cases involved amounts from 3 to 8 thousand dollars. And in 2026 one of the intermediaries offered to arrange disability for 12 thousand dollars or speed up the process for 16 thousand.
Now a price tag of 18 thousand dollars has appeared. However, there is no single rate: even this year law enforcement uncovered similar schemes costing from 5 thousand dollars.
