🚫 Minister for Restoration, Infrastructure and Transport Mykola Kalashnyk is choosing candidates for the Shipping Administration
Among them are Natalia Dralova, Pavlo Bulanovych (Pasha 500) and Anatoliy Yablunivskyi.
Dralova, who does not have a specialized maritime education, is being considered for the position of head of the Shipping Administration.
Dralova’s professional path is connected to both private business and the public sector. In particular, in 2018–2020 she headed Risoil Port, worked at the State Hydrography Agency in a managerial position related to audit, procurement and legal support, and was also director of the company Anser Logistic.
The next candidate Mykola Kalashnyk is considering for a leadership position in the Shipping Administration is Pavlo Bulanovych, better known to everyone as “Pasha 500.” He is being considered for the position of first deputy, whose responsibilities would include seafarer certification, oversight of educational institutions and simulator centers, and coordination of the work of the state enterprise Morrichservice.
Bulanovych was previously dismissed from the post of head of the State Inspection of Ukraine for Safety on Sea and River Transport under the lustration law. The investigation uncovered an undeclared apartment and discrepancies between income and acquired property.
In the 2021–2022 years, as director of the ecology department of the Odesa Regional State Administration, he worked under Serhiy Hrynivetskyi, the former head of the Odesa Regional State Administration.
Next is Anatoliy Yablunivskyi, who is being considered for a deputy position that could be responsible for state supervision and control and the operation of sector enterprises.
In 2010 Yablunivskyi was elected a deputy of the Yuzhne City Council from the PR. After its dissolution he joined the Opposition Bloc faction. In 2020 he ran for the Odesa Regional Council from the Ukrainian Maritime Party of Serhiy Kivalov.
A separate episode of his career is work at the stevedoring company Avlita in Sevastopol. According to his published biography, Yablunivskyi managed the company’s production in 2012–2016 years. Part of that period fell during the Russian occupation of Crimea.
In October 2019 Yablunivskyi, as acting head of the port of Pivdennyi, signed a contract to procure a video surveillance system worth 66 million UAH. This became the subject of a criminal proceeding. In February 2019 he was dismissed from his position. And this is not the full list of his schemes.
If these candidates are indeed being considered, Minister Mykola Kalashnyk must explain why these people are being chosen for key positions in the Shipping Administration. Explanations are needed before the appointments, not after these people have authority.
