The company of Fedorov’s godfather received almost 3 billion UAH in government contracts without experience in large-scale construction and with hidden budgets.
The company “Kalmius,” which journalists link to the godfather of the head of the Recovery Agency, Ivan Fedorov, received two contracts in one week for protective structures in Zaporizhzhia region for 655 million and 173 million UAH. In September it was already given 2,1 billion UAH for substation protection. In total, almost 3 billion UAH in government orders.
Kalmius received its first government contract two weeks after its creation in March 2025. The experience was vouched for by a subcontract from the firm “Positive,” which the Antimonopoly Committee later penalized for bid rigging. Its former owner is Melitopol city council deputy Mykola Bilyi. Kalmius’s founder, Danylo Sandyriev, previously installed saunas, fireplaces, and chimneys.
Kalmius rents equipment from “Morena SK,” which appears in the State Bureau of Investigation’s probe into possible embezzlement of funds on fortifications.
Against this background, the question arises not only for the contractor but also for the leadership of the Recovery Agency. It is Ivan Fedorov who must explain how a company without the relevant experience began receiving multi-billion contracts during the war after his appointment.
