📁🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 A billion on the roads, the FBI and a Lithuanian owner: what is known about Chukhno
From March to October 2022, the Dnipropetrovsk Regional State Administration paid road contractors 2,31 billion UAH. 1,5 billion of that — 65% — was received by a single company, Budinvest Engineering LLC.
Who was behind the company? From spring 2021 until 49% of it was owned by fitness trainer Yana Khlanta, whom journalists call a close associate of then-RSA head Valentyn Reznichenko, and by Dnipro entrepreneur Pavlo Chukhno.
Who is Chukhno? Vice president of the Prometey basketball club, which he founded in 2018 with Volodymyr Dubynskyi. “Skhemy” call him a business partner of Dubynskyi, and Forbes — a “manager and partner” of the Dubynskyi brothers.
🔍 The FBI is seeking Volodymyr and Leonid Dubynskyi. 14 In September 2012 a federal court in Sacramento issued arrest warrants for them on charges of mail fraud. According to the FBI, the brothers recruited relatives and acquaintances as straw buyers of houses in California. The court has not established the brothers’ guilt. As Ukrainian citizens they are not subject to extradition.
What happened next:
✔️9 In November 2022, a week after the SAP opened the case, Khlanta left the company, and Chukhno became the principal owner (Censor.NET).
✔️ 26 In December 2022 NABU conducted searches, including at the company’s office and at Chukhno’s office (“Skhemy”).
✔️12 In September 2024 the SAP notified five people of suspicions, among them the company director. According to the investigation, road repairs were documented as “operational maintenance,” costs were inflated to 1,5 billion, and the contractor overcharged for materials.
✔️ 12 In August 2026 an indictment was sent to court against Reznichenko, his deputy, the head of the roads department and the “head of the business entity.” The investigation estimates the embezzlement at over 392 million UAH.
There is no public data that Pavlo Chukhno himself is suspected. His procedural status in the case is unknown.
📌 According to the state register, 100% of Budinvest Engineering now belongs to Lithuanian citizen Laurinas Grambis, and the director is Kyryl Skliar. When and for how much Chukhno sold his share is not visible from public data.
📌 Olena Chukhno, whom media call a relative of Pavlo, was a co-owner of asphalt concrete plants that supplied materials to Budinvest.
Leonid Dubynskyi was detained by NABU in January 2025 in another case — about 129 million UAH on the water pipeline in Kamianske district; in October 2026 it was forwarded to court.
Chukhno refused to comment to “Skhemy” on the company’s money and links to Dubynskyi. All persons mentioned are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court. We are ready to give each of them the opportunity to speak...
