In the Rivne region, the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) exposed the heads of regional and district military committees who beat a soldier. One of the officers was found with drugs.

This was reported in the press service of the SBI.

The colonel and lieutenant colonel learned that the driver of the rifle company planned to report their violations while on duty. Because of this, they beat the man with a club and filmed it on the phone. Officials also put the victim on his knees and forced him to beg for forgiveness.

According to "Ukraiinska Pravda" ["Ukrainian Truth"], the head of the Rivne Regional Territorial Center for Staffing and Social Support is Serhiy Lutsyuk. The publication published the full video. On it, the head of the territorial recruitment center (TRC) talks to a beaten soldier about drugs.
