The State Financial Monitoring Service illegally issued deferrals: what is known about the Pronin case

This is reported by “Dzerkalo Tyzhnia”.

According to the publication, since 2025, the State Financial Monitoring Service has been preparing and sending documents to the CCC and the Joint Venture that allegedly confirmed the employees’ right to a deferral. At the same time, there were no legal grounds for receiving it.

There are already over 70 cases of possible violations of the legislation on mobilization and the relevant procedure approved by the Cabinet of Ministers.

The publication previously reported on the NABU investigation, which involves the head of the State Financial Monitoring Service, Philip Pronin. It is known that information about a possible scheme for employees to evade mobilization was included in the criminal proceedings.

Currently, the CCC and the Joint Venture have already begun to cancel illegally issued deferrals. In addition, on August 31, under the coordination of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the State Financial Monitoring Service is to check the status of military accounting.

By law, the head of a state body is responsible for organizing mobilization training and the status of military records. At the same time, information about Pronin’s possible personal responsibility for the violations identified currently requires legal assessment.

Separately, the publication suggests that officials of the State Financial Monitoring Service may have received improper benefits for processing deferrals. However, there is no confirmed data on such payments in the information provided.

It was previously reported that during his first year in office, Philip Pronin spent more than 70 days on foreign business trips. He visited, in particular, France, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Tanzania, and Mexico. His trips often coincided with important meetings of parliamentary TSCs and corruption scandals related to the work of the State Financial Monitoring Service.
