The head of the Chernihiv Regional Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Center (TCC and SS) Artem Trebesov was suspended from his position and transferred to a reserve battalion. The decision was made by Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Mykhailo Drapatyi on 21 August. This was reported by the head of the Temporary Investigative Commission of the Verkhovna Rada, Oleksii Honcharenko. The personnel decision was the result of court proceedings regarding the mismatch between the Trebesov family's income and their expenditures on purchasing property.
Oleksii Honcharenko reported the transfer of the colonel to the reserve. According to him, as early as 3 April the Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court confirmed the confiscation of the Trebesov family's assets — in particular a BMW X6 worth about 4 million hryvnias. Despite that ruling, the official remained in the position of head of the Chernihiv TCC for nearly another half year.
On 17 August a meeting of the Temporary Investigative Commission of the Verkhovna Rada on investigating possible violations of legislation in the defense sector, anti-corruption legislation, and the observance of human rights during martial law took place. At that meeting it was decided to submit an appeal to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and the Minister of Defense regarding Colonel Trebesov’s suitability for the position of head of the Chernihiv Regional TCC and SS.
“Because cars were being purchased and there were incomes from unclear sources. Since 3 April, after the court decision, no one has dismissed Trebesov from his job,” said Oleksii Honcharenko, head of the Verkhovna Rada Temporary Investigative Commission.
What is known about Trebesov’s career and assets
Artem Trebesov previously served as acting head of the Kharkiv Regional TCC and SS, and before that he led the Lozova District TCC and SS. In August 2025, despite an ongoing investigation into him, he was appointed temporary acting head of the Chernihiv Regional TCC and SS.
Trebesov’s declaration for 2025 lists an apartment of 53 square meters in the city of Lozova, Kharkiv region, and a salary at the Kharkiv Regional Military Commissariat of 508 458 hryvnias. In the ownership of his wife, Viktoriia, is a Toyota Camry from 2022 and income from the disposal of movable property in the amount of 450 thousand hryvnias.
In May 2025 the State Bureau of Investigations, together with the National Agency on Corruption Prevention, exposed facts of unjustified enrichment by the former head of the Kharkiv Regional TCC and SS. On the basis of these materials, a prosecutor from the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office filed a claim with the High Anti-Corruption Court.
“Bureau employees analyzed the official incomes of the serviceman and his family and determined that acquiring these vehicles from legal sources is economically unjustified,” reported the State Bureau of Investigations.
A ruling of the High Anti-Corruption Court dated 27 July 2025 stated that the prosecutor of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office asked to recognize the BMW X6 and a Toyota Camry Hybrid from 2022 as unjustified assets. The court imposed an arrest on the movable and immovable property of the defendants as a measure to secure the claim.
Previously Informator reported that Drapatyi suspended the head of the Zakarpattia TCC — the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces made that decision due to numerous human rights violations long indicated by ombudsperson Dmytro Lubinets.
We also wrote that the head of the Mykolaiv TCC was suspended from his position just days after being detained for a bribe of 15 thousand dollars. These cases indicate a wave of personnel decisions in territorial recruitment centers across the country.
