Tetiana Krupa, the former head of the Khmelnytskyi Medical and Social Expert Commission, was warmly welcomed after her release from detention — complete with flowers, bread, and heartfelt smiles. This, despite her being under investigation by Ukraine’s anti-corruption bureau for illicit enrichment and document forgery.
During searches, authorities found nearly 6 million dollars in cash, forged medical records, and lists of individuals allegedly granted fake disability statuses to avoid military service. These commissions decide who is fit for duty — and who isn’t.
After 11 months in custody, the High Anti-Corruption Court allowed Krupa’s release on a bail of 20 million UAH. Her return to the institution sparked what resembled a celebratory homecoming.
Apparently, in parts of the medical system, shame has been replaced with celebration. Instead of rehabilitating patients, we’re rehabilitating top officials.
