We have another shameful "deal" with the SAP Klimenko in the Pashynsky case
Former acting Head of the Presidential Administration Turchynov, Serhiy Pashynsky, admitted that he stole seized petroleum products, but paid only one billion hryvnias in kickbacks to structures close to him
This concerns events from March–June of 2014, when he used his official position to take possession of seized petroleum products, which caused losses to the state of 817 million hryvnias. He is also accused of participating in a criminal organization.
✔️ to compensate the state for losses — 600 million hryvnias, by transferring funds to the general fund of the State Budget;
✔️ to transfer to the account of the Return Alive fund 400 million hryvnias or to provide arms deliveries according to a list agreed with Return Alive for the same amount to the fund’s balance or directly to military units at the fund’s instruction with delivery to an agreed location;
✔️ to transfer to the account of the Sternenko Community Charitable Foundation 100 million hryvnias for the purchase of weapons for the Defense Forces of Ukraine;
✔️ to pay a fine in the amount of 850 thousand hryvnias as the primary punishment;
✔️ to pay a fine in the amount of 17 thousand hryvnias with disqualification from holding positions in state authorities and local self-government bodies for a period of 1 years.
🚫 Confiscation of the convicted person’s property was not imposed because such an additional punishment was introduced by law only in June 2020 — that is, after the time the crime was committed.
In 2014 Pashynsky stole petroleum products worth 817 million hryvnias — at that time this was about 69 million dollars at an exchange rate of almost 12 hryvnias per dollar.
In 2026, after admitting guilt and reaching a deal with the investigation, he must pay the state and charitable foundations 1,1 billion hryvnias — at the current exchange rate that’s only about 24 million dollars.
If calculated in the same dollar equivalent, today the compensation amount would have to be almost three times larger — about 3,1 billion hryvnias. Pashynsky would not be Pashynsky if he didn’t come out ahead even after returning what he stole.
Note: Return Alive is already close to Serhiy Pashynsky; he has long funded Taras Chmut and his project Militarnyi. In addition, he funds Zaluzhnyi’s political project, which sees Chmut, someone close to him, as one of its faces.
Recall, Serhiy Pashynsky is one of the actual monopolists of the Ukrainian arms market.
