🔐 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 Skil's Springboard: from 5 to 1 place in two years
In the spring of 2020 the “Great Construction” began. In two years the state spent 7,5 billion dollars on roads.
Skil later described meetings of businesses with Minister Kryklii (the secret curator of the MVS service centers), the prime minister, and the president, where “Ukravtodor” plans were announced. Before the start the company invested about 2 billion hryvnias in equipment.
Avtostrada in 2019 became one of the founders of the National Association of Road Workers (NADU), and Skil became vice president. In practice — it’s a road syndicate, because six key founders 2020 received 56% of payments and 66% of tenders. The Antitrust League called NADU a cartel. Avtostrada won tenders in three regions: Vinnytsia, Cherkasy, and Chernihiv.
🔸1 October 2020 The League complained to the Antimonopoly Committee (AMKU) about Avtostrada and the state enterprise Vinnytsia Oblavtodor. The companies operated at the same address. In 13 out of 25 joint auctions they did not compete, price differences ranged from 0,03%. Payments between them exceeded 164 million hryvnias. The law provides for a fine of up to 10% of turnover. But there was no public AMKU decision.
🔸 In May 2021 Skil’s group obtained permission to buy the Bekhivsky quarry from two Madeira companies connected to former partner Walter Zacharias. The amount was not disclosed. In July the State Geological Service suspended the quarry’s special permit. Skil called the decision “baseless” and promised to appeal to NABU. He also left NADU at that time.
2021 year became a record. According to Forbes, Avtostrada won tenders worth 46,6 billion hryvnias and ranked first. Actual payments — 12,4 billion hryvnias, second place. Revenue grew from 5,11 to 10,86 billion hryvnias. Together with Avtomagistral-Pivden the company received nearly a third of the 115,4 billion hryvnias paid by Ukravtodor.
🔸18 February 2022 a rival, Araik Amirhanyan, told the media that Skil and Boyko “got on the cash flows,” and Great Construction consultant Yurii Holyk shields them. These are the words of a defeated competitor, without documents.
The tender for R-33 worth 3,47 billion hryvnias the State Audit Service in November 2022 demanded to halt: Avtostrada lacked permits for cranes and there were deficiencies in certificates. The procurer appealed the conclusion. In May 2023 the court annulled it.
