🕵️♂️ Zhumadilov and the Vyriy Industries case
A case is underway against LLC "Vyriy Industry" (EDRPOU 45186404) and its beneficiary Oleksii Babenko — case No. 42025000000000468.
The issue is that last year LLC "Vyriy Industry" concluded state contracts with the State Enterprise of the Ministry of Defense "Defense Procurement Agency" for the supply of UAVs totaling 6,95 billion UAH. According to the investigation, the price of the drones was artificially inflated by unjustifiably including inflated expenses in the cost basis.
The State Financial Monitoring Service identified transactions totaling more than 197 million UAH that are being checked for money laundering through 150 sole proprietors in various fields. Ten of them have already been questioned as witnesses. They stated that they did not actually engage in entrepreneurial activity — they provided documents for registration for monetary compensation.
During searches at the company's office, 32 million UAH in cash was seized that was not recorded in the primary financial statements (the company claims this is the "payroll fund").
And now — the main point.
A hole of 45 billion hryvnias listed as accounts receivable for the Defense Procurement Agency. These are funds already paid to suppliers. For weapons that never reached the front. This figure is three times larger than under the agency's previous management.
And this is exactly the model Vyriy systematically exploited: through DOT-Chain Defence the manufacturer received up to 100% prepayment before actual delivery of the goods, declaring, among other things, the existence of 120 thousand unmanned systems on fiber-optic communication, receiving full payment — and failing to deliver the products within the contractually specified terms.
📌 Part of Vyriy Industry's products were sold to controlled buyers — LLC "Victorissoft" (EDRPOU 45502929, director Feldman S. O., registered in Dnipro with KVED 30.30 — manufacture of aircraft, the same as in "Vyriy") and LLC "BP Trium".
Signs of the operations — classic non-goods transactions:
✔️batches of the "VYRIY" flight control stack at 1 840 UAH per unit for amounts up to 2,3 million UAH;
✔️deliveries of Vyriy and JHONNY UAVs in fractions of 0,5 units — a volume that is physically impossible to receive or use.
Such operations served to create artificial tax credit and siphon funds into the shadow economy — which additionally falls under the elements of Art. 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (tax evasion).
⚙️ And now the question that needs to be asked directly: Umerov (who appointed Zhumadilov to lead the Defense Procurement Agency) — has long ceased to be a minister. Fedorov (who should have removed Zhumadilov after the discovery of the 45-billion hole, but for some reason did not) — resigned on 15 July.
Serhii Koretsky has been appointed Prime Minister, acting Minister of Defense — Khmara;
🚫 Zhumadilov still holds his position. He previously simultaneously headed DOT and the Defense Procurement Agency. The one under whom the agency's accounts receivable tripled — to 45 billion UAH. The one whose early dismissal, according to journalist Tetiana Nikolaienko, has already been agreed — but not publicly announced. The one who is being discussed for a "quiet exit" with a bonus payment through September (when his contract ends).
Throughout the year Zhumadilov's team, according to Nikolaienko, "did everything possible and impossible to hide these figures" — since the summer of 2025 the information about the agency's accounts receivable has been classified.
The presented facts show signs of criminal offenses that must be investigated under:
Part 5 of Art. 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — misappropriation of another's property by abusing official position in especially large amounts;
Art. 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — legalization (laundering) of property obtained by criminal means; Art. 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — tax evasion.
And — a separate question — under the relevant parts of Art. 364 and Art. 367 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine regarding the officials of the Defense Procurement Agency and DOT who accepted, agreed to, and sanctioned these operations.
Because when a supplier receives 100% prepayment, fails to deliver the goods on time — and the Agency's leadership hides the figures for a year under the stamp "secret," this is no longer a management mistake. This is a system.
