Billions for shelters or fake fences: who is covering up the embezzlement at Ukrenergo and the Ministry of Energy?
Ukraine’s power system is again left without real protection, despite loud promises from the authorities and billion-hryvnia expenditures. A textbook example is the story of the protection of the Prohresivka substation in Mykolaiv region, where #Укренерго transferred nearly 68 million hryvnias in advance.
Instead of a protective facility, the site received only an ordinary fence around the construction area, after which the contractor entered bankruptcy proceedings. 🤷♂️In essence, state funds went into the pockets of fraudsters, and responsibility is being attempted to be limited solely to the owners of the contractor Kryvorizke Promenergo.
However, officials of Ukrenergo are obliged to testify alongside them, including board member O. Pavlenko, who personally signed this contract. The customer independently chose the company, approved million-hryvnia advances, and controlled the progress of the work, and the return of funds occurred solely thanks to the guarantor bank, which fulfilled its obligations and itself pursued the opening of a criminal case.
And such looting is widespread: we observed a similar situation under Herman’s ministry #Галущенко, where energy tenders have turned into an inherited system of manual control, and billions of hryvnias accumulate in the accounts of affiliated structures.
🔻A telling case is the reconstruction of the high-voltage line 330 kV “Chornobyl NPP — Slavutych,” where LLC Struktum under the contract dated 21 May 2024 of the year for more than 1,8 billion hryvnias received 60 percent advance. Instead of real work, a protracted bureaucratic game began citing the exclusion zone, and as of February 2025 of the year there have been no developments.
Despite this, law enforcement agencies show complete blindness or ignore direct court rulings, although our team systematically documents these violations and seeks a real investigation of large-scale abuses.
We have submitted a number of official reports of criminal offenses, which are currently being investigated within registered proceedings, among which are:
▪️No. 52026000000000484 under part 5 of Art. 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine at NABU,
▪️No. 72025111100000025 under part 1 of Art. 358 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine at the Territorial Department of the State Bureau of Investigations in Kyiv region,
▪️No. 42025102090000049 under part 4 of Art. 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine at the Solomyanskyi District Prosecutor’s Office of the city of Kyiv,
▪️No. 22025101110000583 under part 2 of Art. 364 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine at the Main Investigative Department of the Security Service of Ukraine in Kyiv and Kyiv region,
▪️No. 42025000000000328 dated 22.04.2025 under part 5 of Art. 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine at the Office of the Prosecutor General.
As we can see, officials continue to block investigations and ignore court orders, creating an atmosphere of impunity.
