Since 6 September 2026, Lieutenant Colonel Anton Kolchanov is temporarily performing the duties of the head of the Chernihiv Regional Territorial Center for Recruitment and Social Support. He replaced Artem Trebesov, who was suspended from his position and transferred to the reserve battalion. Before his appointment in Chernihiv region, Kolchanov served as head of the recruitment division of the Podilskyi District Military Commissariat in the city of Kyiv. The personnel decision was made after almost three weeks during which the position of head of the regional TCC was effectively vacant.
The appointment of the new acting head was reported to Suspilne in response to an official request to the Chernihiv Regional TCC and SP itself. In Kolchanov’s declaration for 2025 year, a land plot of 1000 square meters is indicated, a right to use an apartment of 65,8 square meters, as well as joint ownership of an apartment of 87,9 square meters worth more than 4,29 million hryvnias. In addition, the lieutenant colonel’s wife owns a KIA SORENTO from 2018 worth 1,1 million hryvnias, and the family’s income includes monetary allowance from the Kyiv MTCC and SP, insurance payments, and compensation from the Department of Social and Veterans Policy of the Podilskyi District State Administration in the city of Kyiv.
Trebesov, Kolchanov’s predecessor, was suspended from his position on 21 August. The decision was made by Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Mykhailo Drapatyi. The personnel decision was preceded by a meeting of the Temporary Investigative Commission of the Verkhovna Rada, which took place on 17 August — at that time, members of parliament decided to appeal to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and the Minister of Defense regarding Colonel Trebesov’s suitability for the position.
How court proceedings cost Trebesov his position
The personnel decision was prompted by court proceedings concerning a discrepancy between the lawful income of the Trebesov family and their actual expenditures on property. Based on materials from the State Bureau of Investigation, a prosecutor from the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office filed a claim with the High Anti-Corruption Court to recognize the BMW X6 and Toyota Camry Hybrid cars as unjustified assets.
According to the case materials, Trebesov’s aunt in November 2023 purchased a BMW X6 worth more than 4 million hryvnias in the interest of her nephew, although she did not have lawful income for such a purchase. After the investigation began, the woman sold the car for only one million hryvnias. In January 2026 the High Anti-Corruption Court partially satisfied the prosecutor’s claim: Trebesov was ordered to recover 4 029 000 hryvnias — the value of the BMW X6 — for the state, and his wife’s Toyota Camry Hybrid was seized. The colonel appealed the decision, but the VACB Appeals Chamber left it unchanged on 3 April 2026, after which Trebesov’s cassation appeal was filed with the Supreme Court.
Earlier, Informator reported that the SBI announced suspicions against one of the former heads of the TCC in Lviv, who concealed assets worth more than 4,5 million hryvnias in his declaration — including an apartment in a newly built building and inflated cash savings registered in his wife’s name. We also wrote that in Kharkiv six employees of a district TCC will stand trial, accused of illegally depriving two civilian men of their liberty and torturing them, one of whom was shot with a service pistol.
