Colonel Vladislav Kosenko, the commander of the 112th Separate Territorial Defense Brigade, has proven to be not only a military leader but also a successful realtor. While his subordinates are engaged in combat on the front lines, Kosenko is busy selling real estate in the Kyiv region through the website rieltor.ua.
This was reported by former journalist and serviceman Volodymyr Boyko on Telegram. According to him, the brigade commanded by Kosenko has never participated in battles — only separate battalions are sent to the front. Moreover, the unit A7040 exists more on paper than in reality.
As Boyko claims, the 112th brigade is home to "the best people of Kyiv":
"It carries out, perhaps, the most crucial combat task – here, the best people of Kyiv are fictitiously counted as being on military service: anti-corruption fighters, singers, and professional public activists living at home drink in Kyiv restaurants while receiving military salaries."
Until 2024, the brigade was "fighting" right in Kyiv, but due to the influx of those wishing to serve under Kosenko, it was relocated to the Vyshhorod district. Meanwhile, neither the National Agency for Prevention of Corruption (NAPC) nor the police are interested in how the brigade commander manages to combine military service with his realtor business.
