Conspiracy against competition in Zhytomyr: how the police, prosecutor’s office, and executive committee are pushing unwanted players out of the MSW market in the interests of Yevheniy Barakh
#нампишуть that a brutal redistribution of the municipal solid waste hauling market is unfolding in Zhytomyr, where law enforcement agencies and city authorities operate as a single mechanism. ❗️ Behind this pressure on PP VZhREP No.4 stands a specific beneficiary — Yevheniy Barakh, the nephew of the military prosecutor from the Poroshenko era #Матіос, who, through his companies LLC MS Social Project and LLC GREEN BIN Ukraine, seeks to clear the field of competitors.
Despite contracts signed at the beginning of 2026 and the permit from the Ministry of Environmental Protection No.13711/25, the enterprise faced artificial blocking. The communal enterprise KATP-0628, which controls the only city landfill and had already been recognized as a violator by decision No.#АМКУ 60/18-r/k, began to unjustifiably deny access to competitors’ garbage trucks.
When the pressure moved into an open phase, the security forces stepped in. In March and April, the Bohunsky District Court, at the investigators’ request, imposed seizures on the company’s equipment and land plots, including in the village of Sonyachne and on Severyn Nalyvaiko Street, 7-a. The culmination was criminal proceeding No.12026060610000050, within which employees were charged with fabricated damages of 3,4 million hryvnias for alleged pollution of a plot with 240 cubic meters of waste. 🤷♂️However, five days later the investigator was forced to close this episode for lack of a corpus delicti, since the real cause of the waste placement was the forcible denial of access for equipment to the landfill.
Although the courts lifted seizures on MAN vehicles in case No.295/11995/26 and on a GAZ vehicle in case No.295/13017/26, and later lifted the seizure on the plot in Sonyachne, pressure on legitimate business continues. 👇 The Zhytomyr City Council executive committee has for years created greenhouse conditions for favored entities, as confirmed by AMCU decision No.60/19-r/k.
