🤷♂️Political technologists, sponsors #Федоров and paid media are shaping him into a martyr who so wanted to fight the tender mafia #Міноборони. But there’s a mismatch. Together with #АОЗ #Жумаділов they were perfectly, in unison, cooking up procurement schemes. And for some reason Fedorov kept quiet about it. He only blew up after he was kicked out of the most profitable position in a warring country with a trillion-budget.
Fedorov sat in the defense minister’s chair 14 January 2026 and flew out in July. During those six months the Defense Procurement Agency awarded contracts worth more than 1,1 billion UAH.
🔻The biggest episode — excavators. 14 in May the DPA announced a procurement for 477 million UAH. Not a loader-excavator, but specifically a JCB 3CX, and three bidders showed up.
▫️Alfatech offered a Bobcat for 403 million, which is 75 million cheaper.
▫️Zeppelin CZ offered a Caterpillar for 470 million.
Both were rejected on the same ground: it’s not a JCB.
The Agency replied that the model was approved by the Ministry of Defense and nothing would be changed. The Ministry of Defense was headed by Fedorov. 8 in June 126 machines were taken by Construction Machinery LLC. Its beneficiaries are Bulgarian citizens Boryana Radeva and Dimitr Ilchev, who since 2016 have won contracts worth 7,67 billion UAH.
🔻18 in February, special headsets, 40 000 pieces, 382 million UAH. The winner, TOP-TEX LLC of Tetyana Vasylchenko. Authorized capital 1 000 UAH. Contract-to-capital ratio 382 000 to 1. Registered at a Kyiv apartment. Activity type — workwear manufacturing.
To enter the tender you need a paper from the Central Directorate for the Development of Material Support. No paper — no participation. Headset for infantry bought from a company in an apartment.
🔻In June — fuel tanker trucks for 280 million UAH. Winner — Trading House Tekhkomplekt LLC of Mykola Onyshchuk. The documentation supposedly allowed equivalents. But the equivalent had to match all the customer’s specifications down to the last pipe. Plus codification and NATO number. This is not a function-based procurement, it’s procurement tailored to a specific product.
The scheme did not start with Fedorov. In December 2025 the same template was used for two more tenders.
▫️Ballistic goggles, 90 000 sets, 62,8 million UAH, TS Trade Ukraine LLC of Svitlana Fedotova, capital 50 000 UAH, KVED — non-specialized wholesale trade.
▫️Universal field tent, 75 million UAH, LLC #Еквіпторг #Мітрохін, registered in 2024 with capital 10 000 UAH. Everywhere the same paper from the military administration and a ban on supplying previously manufactured goods.
Competition was cut off not by technical means but by administrative admission.
✅We filed complaints with NABU, DBR, BEB, SBU, AMCU and the State Audit Service. We demand that all 5 procurements be investigated, that Fedorov’s actions, #Вискуб and Zhumadilov’s actions be legally assessed, that their assets be checked, that the winners be declared risky, that tax invoices be blocked and contracts terminated.
Fedorov left.
Vyskub remained deputy.
Zhumadilov left the DPA, but in April received an order.
Overdue agency contracts at the start of 2026 amount to 45 billion UAH of undelivered weapons.
Why did Fedorov remain silent for six months about the tender mafia and only see the light precisely after his dismissal?
Why did no official answer for 5 tailored tenders?
