Corruption in security: how Kyiv officials profit from shelter repairs during the war
Despite the authorities' loud statements about large-scale inspections of shelters in the fifth year of the full-scale invasion, the real response to years of complaints, reports, and investigations remains nil. 🤷♂️Against the backdrop of war, officials continue to embezzle millions in budget funds allocated for the improvement and maintenance of bomb shelters.
That is why we want to remind you, by region, who is responsible for the lack of shelters—funding for which, by the way, was allocated from your taxes to the budget. And we will start with the capital.
📌A striking example is the Obolon district of Kyiv, where Mayor Vitaliy #Кличко, head of the Obolon RDA Kyrylo #Фесик, and Director of the Department of Municipal Safety Roman #Ткачук, in collusion with a number of commercial entities, set up a scheme to appropriate state funds that were allocated to create safe shelters for local residents. Only affiliated companies participated in the tenders—individual entrepreneur Andrushko Kostyantyn Serhiyovych, LLC Kyiv Mechanization Management, LLC Construction Company Mega Style, LLC Industrial Enterprise OMI, LLC Eurobud One, and LLC Enter Service Group—while procurement procedures were arranged so that only their players could win.
📌Similar corrupt schemes were revealed in the Holosiivskyi district, where Klitschko, the leadership of the Department of Civil Protection #КМДА, former head of the Holosiivskyi RDA Serhiy #Полторак, and Director of the Construction Department Mamedova are implicated in the budget siphoning. The favorites of the million-hryvnia tenders there included LLC Ars Mira, LLC Kyiv Construction and Installation Company, LLC Construction Technologies, LLC Petkom Power, LLC Kanbanbud, LLC Green Trading, and individual entrepreneur Hordiienko, whose owners prefer to spend the stolen money on vacations in Dubai and Monaco instead of helping the army.
📌The situation is critical in the Solomianskyi district as well, where during an alert the ceiling collapsed and pipes burst in recently renovated and inspected school shelters due to technical malfunctions, while the Kyiv City State Administration tries to excuse this as minor breakdowns. Besides laundering funds at the expense of residents' safety, shelters in the same Solomianskyi district were used for purposes other than intended, and embezzlement on the repair of the shelter at Holosiivskyi Lyceum No. 241 reached over 25 and a half million hryvnias, which is why the Territorial Office of the State Bureau of Economic Security in the city of Kyiv has already entered information into the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations under the article on embezzlement of property through abuse of official position, and the investigation is ongoing.
Add to the above the recent scandals when citizens were not allowed into the metro before ballistic shelling and the mayor's responses that in the 5 year of the full-scale war the issue of mobile shelters is “very complex.”
