⚠️ Report of rulings: defense procurements worth 54 billion UAH, Ajax Systems — UAVs worth over 40 billion UAH, and supply of products to the Russian Federation via Kazakhstan
To activate the investigation and prosecutorial supervision, the NGO “NON-STOP UKRAINE” filed complaints about the failure to enter information into the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations (UERDR) regarding reports of criminal schemes related to the cover-up of gas deals, financial conversion, and illegal transfer of funds abroad.
▪️ Defense procurements worth 54 billion UAH: inflated prices and a limited pool of suppliers
Former Minister of Defense Mykhailo #Федоров, his former first deputy Oleksii Vyskub, former Director of the Ministry of Defense Procurement Department Serhii Kulyas, and former director of SE “#АОЗ” Arsen #Жумаділов are involved in organizing the scheme to embezzle budget funds. During the procurement of food products worth 54,06 billion UAH, only 9 out of 20 companies were allowed to participate, including LLC “TRADE GRANIT INVEST,” LLC “TORGCITY PRODUCT,” and LLC “ADELN.”
The expected cost of a food kit was set at 171,48 UAH versus about 128 UAH for similar procurements on Prozorro. Note the purchase of diesel fuel at a price of about 78,66 UAH/l versus a market price of 54–57 UAH/l. The estimated overpricing is assessed from 880 million to over 1 billion UAH.
The Solomianskyi District Court of Kyiv, by ruling in case No. 760/21171/26, obliged authorized officials of the Main Directorate of the SBU in Kyiv city and Kyiv region to enter the relevant information into the UERDR.
▪️ Ajax Systems: UAV procurements worth over 40 billion UAH per year and supply of products to the Russian Federation via Kazakhstan
It has been established that Ajax Systems founder #Конотопський Oleksandr, the leadership of SE “Ukrspecexport” and SC “Ukroboronservice,” as well as related companies and officials, including former Minister of Defense #Шмигаль Denys, created an organized criminal group to gain control over state defense procurements, concentrate budget financing, and limit competition in the UAV market.
The scheme involved signing direct contracts without competitive procedures, inflating the cost of UAVs, including the “Vampire” type, redistributing budget funds through controlled subcontractors, and using foreign companies in Cyprus and the UAE to move products and financial resources. It is additionally noted that Ajax Systems products, despite the announced cessation of activity in the Russian Federation in 2022, continued to be present on the Russian market through foreign intermediaries, notably in Kazakhstan, with subsequent movement into the Russian Federation.
The Pecherskyi District Court of Kyiv, by ruling in case No. 757/37028/26-k, obliged authorized officials of the National Police of Ukraine to enter the relevant information into the UERDR.
▪️ LLC “POTOKY” and Kiper: land near the Danube, a port complex, and possible sanctions circumvention
Odesa Regional State Administration Head Oleh #Кіпер, former deputy head of the SBU Main Directorate for Anti-Corruption Ivan Dragalok, and businessman Vadym #Єрмолаєв appear in materials regarding a scheme to circumvent sanctions through the company-controlled LLC “POTOKY.” This concerns the use of a land plot of 6 ha near the Danube, leased to the company for 49 years for construction of a port complex, as well as the organization of transshipment and export of grain products.
Actual control over the company may have been exercised through controlled persons despite the formal distribution of corporate rights. The transfer of the land and the company’s activities may have created conditions for realizing the economic interests of Vadym Yermolaiev, against whom the NSDC has imposed sanctions.
The Inhulskyi District Court of Mykolaiv, by ruling in case No. 489/7109/26, obliged authorized officials of the Territorial Office of the State Bureau of Investigations in Mykolaiv to enter the relevant information into the UERDR.
