❗️In Kyiv, budget funds are being embezzled again: on the capital’s dams they plan to steal billions of hryvnias by inflating prices by 3–4 times — the project cost is tens of billions of hryvnias, — “Nashi Hroshi”
📍After strikes on the bridges, authorities are considering building earthen dams with pontoon crossings across the Dnipro — this is a project worth tens of billions of hryvnias.
📍And here a potentially “golden” opportunity is already visible — delivery of sand and crushed stone. A normal transportation price is about 12–13 UAH per cubic meter per kilometer.
📍But in the recent large Kyiv tenders such deliveries were already calculated at 20–37 UAH per cubic meter/km — that is, in places 3–4 times more expensive.
📍For example, bringing 10 cubic meters of sand for 15 km at the normal rate costs about 1950 UAH. At Kyiv’s estimate prices — already 3900 UAH and more per truck.
📍And now thousands and thousands of such trucks are needed. On a project worth tens of billions, even a small overcharge turns into huge sums.
📍If the delivery price is driven up to the maximum, it could consume up to half of the entire dam construction budget.
📍Buy sand and crushed stone at a normal price, and hide a billion-hryvnia margin in delivery — simply by marking up each kilometer several times.
Never happened before — and here it is again 🤬
