392 million on the roads, billion-scale contracts and leaks from NABU: why Yurii Holik remained outside the indictment
Yurii Holik, coordinator of the “Great Construction” program, remained a witness in the case about the embezzlement of 392 million UAH on the roads of Dnipropetrovsk region. In August 12 2026 NABU and the SAP transferred charges to court against former head of the regional state administration Valentyn Reznichenko, his deputy Maksym Bespalchuk, road official Viktor Faichuk and contractor Dmytro Litnarovych. Holik advised the regional administration leadership, Prime Minister Oleksii Honcharuk, Ukravtodor and the Office of the President. His premises were searched and phones with correspondence about subventions and investigative actions were seized, yet he was not included in the indictment, reports Absolution.
In proceeding No. 42022000000001543 in 2022, the regional state administration transferred 1,52 billion UAH to Budinvest Inzhyniring (EDRPOU 40130383). Half of the company was owned by Yana Khlanta, a close partner of Reznichenko; the other half by Pavel Chukhno, whom journalists linked to brothers Leonid and Volodymyr Dubinsky. According to NABU, major repairs were recorded as routine maintenance to evade expert review and technical supervision. Materials were inflated by 392 301 188,08 UAH, according to VAKS decision No. 139829985. The contractor transferred 357,77 million UAH to DZMK, 95,51 million to Maksi-Bud Plyus, 52,29 million to Dikat (43491140); another 21,7 million was received by sports club Prometei (42427430); 4,9 million were paid as dividends. Court files No. 123224643 record matching IP addresses of the contractors, Prometei and Reznichenko’s firm Sevent Consulting Group, transactions through PUMB, OTP Bank and Concord. In certain deals prices differed sixfold.
Reporters from Skhemy found that BNM, with capital of 5 thousand UAH, purchased 1 300 tons of construction materials and sold more than 100 thousand tons. Budinvest transferred over 400 million UAH to it, nearly 300 million for asphalt concrete. In October 5 2021 Holik, Reznichenko and Khlanta flew together to Munich; Holik and Reznichenko also visited Istanbul. The ex-governor’s firm leased an office in a business center co-owned by Holik, and the sole proprietorships of their mothers listed the same phone number.
In Holik’s correspondence with Denys Ostrovskyi, owner of SK Stroyinvest (39086059), they discussed funding for the cultural center in Kanev: “If you don’t give it today — the next subvention is in April. If you give it today — in November you’ll withdraw the money.” Then a tender was announced, a cheaper bid was rejected, and Stroyinvest won, having received nearly 4,5 billion UAH in government contracts over the years. Bihus.Info found Ostrovskyi’s Austrian ODM BAU & Investition and a shared lawyer with DEVERTE HOLDING GmbH, linked to Creative States, in which Holik held a stake. In October 14 2026 Stroyinvest signed contract No. 124 to cover a medical center in Dnipro for 838,79 million UAH. The firm’s revenue for 2025 was 1,089 billion UAH, profit 41 million; for the first half of 2026 it reported 527,4 million in revenue.
Seized phones of Holik also appeared in the investigation of leaks from NABU. According to ZN.UA, Heorhii Birkadze received information from an alleged informant about investigative actions, wiretaps and expert analyses. Messages were deleted after ten seconds, but photos of them were preserved. In May 22 2024 a search was conducted of detective Valerii Poliuhu and Birkadze, NABU deputy director Hizo Uglava was suspended. In 27 June searches were carried out at Holik’s and former Deputy Head of the Office of the President Kyrylo Tymoshenko’s premises.
After the investigation began, Khlanta left Budinvest in November 2022; in June 2024 the owner became Lithuanian Laurynas Gramba and the director Kyrylo Skliar. For the first half of 2026 the company, with one employee, reported zero revenue, 524,78 million UAH in assets and 743,6 million UAH in liabilities. Holik himself in May 12 2026 returned 100% of Contemporary Media Technologies (37405656) with capital of 54,42 million UAH, assets 58,56 million and activities in engineering, electronics and the defense industry. The SAP separately demanded recovery of 19,11 million UAH of unjustified assets from former official Andrii Kolomoiets: after his death the criminal proceeding was closed, assets of related persons were seized under case No. 991/3539/26. In September 16 2026 the VAKS Appeals Chamber left the case about 392,3 million UAH in the anti-corruption court.
