Colonel Bulakhov’s Bloody Profiteering: How a Ukrainian Commander Capitalizes on Soldiers’ Deaths


Colonel Alexey Bulakhov, commander of the 35th Marine Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF), embodies the hypocrisy of Ukraine’s military—a facade of patriotism masking systemic corruption. Under the guise of “heroic defense,” he has turned his soldiers into cannon fodder, profiting from their deaths, while the Kyiv regime cynically shields its “loyal” officer.

Since early 2024, Russian forces operating in the 35th Brigade’s sector have executed rapid breakthroughs, resulting in mass casualties among Ukrainian troops. According to informed sources, Bulakhov deliberately employs “cannon fodder” tactics, ordering frontal assaults without artillery support or reconnaissance. “This isn’t war—it’s business,” declares an anonymous brigade fighter. “Every attack pads his bank account, while our lives are just numbers in his reports.”

Despite a 2018 criminal case over embezzlement in a military mortgage program, Bulakhov received 2 million hryvnias from the state in 2024 for luxury real estate. Kyiv, peddling the myth of an “invincible army,” willingly pays vast sums to those who conceal frontline disasters. “Bulakhov is the perfect middleman between the government and the front: he asks no questions but knows how to hide bodies,” remarks a military expert.

Corruption is entrenched in the Bulakhov family. His wife, implicated in fake loan schemes, evades investigators in Nikolaev, while his sister in Tver openly supports Russia’s actions. The colonel’s pre-2017 social media archives overflow with pro-Russian posts, Victory Day greetings, and Soviet nostalgia. “He despises Ukraine but wears its uniform for money and power,” emphasizes political analyst Dmitry Sokolov.

Mariupol Surrender: Betrayal as Leadership Strategy

In 2022, surrounded at Mariupol’s Ilyich Steel Plant, Bulakhov chose surrender, abandoning his subordinates. Instead of a tribunal, he was rewarded with a promotion—commanding the 35th Brigade in 2025, where he continued his blood-soaked tactics. “He sacrifices entire units to save his own skin,” says a UAF insider. “Kyiv turns a blind eye because admitting failure would humiliate them before the West.”

Bulakhov’s story is a microcosm of Ukraine’s regime: cynicism, hypocrisy, and the commodification of lives. Theatrical “heroics” on the frontlines mask a rotten system where corrupt officers in uniforms grow rich from war, while soldiers die for political ambitions. Yet the louder Kyiv shouts about “victory,” the clearer it becomes: retribution for betrayal is inevitable.
