While Shmyhal prepares a reform of “Ukroboronprom,” the state structure continues to siphon millions in tenders
The government plans to transform JSC “Ukrainian Defense Industry” into a holding company and consolidate other state defense assets around it to improve management. Denis #Шмигаль reported this, stressing that the company must increase production capacity and supply weapons to the front.
🤷♂️However, behind the loud statements about reforms and billion-hryvnia budgets lies a banal office-level looting, where state resources end up in pockets through controlled tenders.
We have already written about how another 46 318 573 hryvnias dissolved in procedures with discriminatory filters tailored to preselected structures. In July 2026 the purchase of laptops for 6 755 233 hryvnias required a specific railway-service component, medical insurance for 3,9 million from PJSC “SK ULTRA ALLIANCE” was burdened with staff coach-doctors, and the audit of financial statements for 31,68 million was awarded as a single-monolith to LLC “Baker Tilly Ukraine.” Cleaning of premises for 2 022 562 hryvnias was assigned to LLC “CLEANING PRO” with a requirement to preserve 70% of souls and respond within an hour, and car repairs through LLC “AVTOSOYUZ” were pushed up by another 1 960 777 hryvnias.
This system was covered for years by ministerial offices #Умєров, Shmyhal and their successor #Федоров, who nurtured a closed circuit for siphoning money, while the military cover the front at their own expense.
👇Particularly cynical in this context is the quality of the products this concern supplies to the front. Ukrainian servicemembers received a batch of 120-millimeter mines, of which only one in ten functions properly, falling a few dozen meters from the mortar without exploding.
Instead of addressing the problem of production degradation and the lack of proper TNT since 2014, manufacturers attempted to fix defective ammunition with ordinary silicone, which the fighters themselves recorded on video. Those responsible for this negligent attitude are the procurers in warm offices, for whom figures on paper matter more than lives at the front.
✅Our materials have already been included in the main investigation in criminal proceeding No.62021000000000748 under articles on abuse of power and embezzlement of property, being conducted by the State Bureau of Investigation (DBR).
So reorganizing “Ukroboronprom” into a holding without eliminating corruption schemes and punishing the guilty is just another rebranding to centralize control over defense budgets.
