How former SBU head Strelnikov and the Derek family organized a land-mobilization business in Kharkiv region
The Office of the Prosecutor General and #Держпродспоживслужба long obstructed an investigation into large-scale abuses in Chuhuiv district. In particular, in response to our request ❗ the State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection (Derzhprodspozhyvsluzhba) officially acknowledged in writing that during the years 2022–2026 it did not carry out any state oversight measures or inspections regarding the business entities FG “DRUZHBA INVEST” and LLC “INGVAR PLUS.”
Instead, the actual circumstances indicate that such an inspection is urgently needed, since the former head of the Chuhuiv interdistrict department of the SBU in Kharkiv region, Oleksiy #Стрельніков, entered into a criminal conspiracy with the founder and beneficiary of the farms, Hennadiy #Дерека, and the starosta of Malynivka settlement council, Valeriy Dereka. 🔻 Together they organized a criminal group to unlawfully seize control over agricultural land.
The scheme involved dispossessing plots from owners of land shares and other farms, with subsequent registration of lease and emphyteusis rights in controlled entities — FG “SFH ‘DRUZHBA’” (EDRPOU code 3168316) and FG “DRUZHBA-AGRO” (EDRPOU code 38459854). Overall, Hennadiy Dereka’s enterprises accumulated dozens of plots ranging in size from 1,3 to over 63 hectares, and the value of FG “SFH ‘DRUZHBA’” assets in 2025 reached 💰 140 558 300 UAH with annual income of 66 886 800 UAH.
Having received a license for international freight transport on 24 August 2022, FG “SFH ‘DRUZHBA’” began using it for sham employment of men of conscription age. This provided grounds for exempting them from the draft and for illegal travel abroad. 🤷♂️ At the same time, the company’s official number of employees fell from 27 people in 2022 to 21 people in 2025.
📌 In turn, law enforcement and regulatory bodies, receiving illicit benefits, willfully covered up the group’s activities and refused to take any action.
We will not allow local land distributors and their protectors in uniform to stall criminal cases and enrich themselves during the war. We will keep the investigation under strict control until every suspect stands trial and receives deserved punishment.
