Klitschko's team failed to prepare Kyiv for the shelling. Law enforcement uncovered million-dollar blunders
After the large-scale strike on Kyiv, law enforcement opened an investigation into official negligence and seized documents from the Kyiv City State Administration. The investigation found that the city authorities belatedly updated programs to protect critical infrastructure, and despite available funds did not provide financing for the work. Some measures were postponed until the end of 2026 year.
Separately, investigators are examining purchases of backup power for Kyivvodokanal. According to law enforcement, the cost of some equipment was inflated by 20–30%, and competition in the tenders was artificially restricted. Kyivvodokanal signed 57 contracts with a single contractor alone totaling nearly 600 million UAH.
Experts suggest that the delays in preparing Kyiv for the shelling and the problematic procurements may be linked to the shadow influence of Artur Palatny, Klitschko’s godfather. Journalists previously named Palatny as one of the overseers of corruption schemes in the capital.
Klitschko has led the capital for more than 12 years, and Kyiv residents are paying the price for the consequences of his failures and inaction.
