How Kharkiv Officials Are Embezzling Billions on Children’s Shelters and Fortifications During the War
We continue exposing the real condition of shelters in the regions against the backdrop of inspections announced by the Prime Minister. Today’s focus is the frontline #Харківщина, where, under the cover of the OVA head #ХОВА Oleh #Синєгубов and city council officials #ХМР led by Ihor #Терехов, systemic theft of budget billions intended to protect children has been flourishing for years.
🔻The first company, LLC “Proektnyi Alians,” controlled through the Fortis Construction Group fund by a former deputy from #ОПЗЖ #Колос, increased its revenue from 15,5 million UAH in 2022 to over 2 billion UAH in 2025. Its former owners quietly removed the Russian Rozhkov. Despite an SBU Economic Security Bureau investigation into sham transactions and fortification objects that communities refused to take on their balance sheets because of their awful quality, the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration awarded hundreds of millions of hryvnias in contracts to this structure without bidding, including for the construction of such needed shelters.
📌The second favorite, LLC “SBK #Саргон” of I. #Купровський, spent 2,24 billion UAH. The company received 132 million UAH for an underground shelter for the Barvinok-100 kindergarten in Staryi Saltov — a frontline settlement 17 km from the border, where only 13 preschoolers remain. The estimates revealed price inflation on concrete and rebar of up to 28%, and the contract was terminated only after our disclosure.
By the way, this same organization previously appeared in an SBU proceeding over theft of funds for fortifications through the use of inappropriate reinforced concrete structures, and now it was entrusted with children’s safety.
📌The third player, LLC “TT 2006” of V. #Полежаєв, took contracts worth 954 million UAH, including construction of a protective facility for a kindergarten in Derhachi for 176 million UAH for 278 people, where possible overpayment on a single object exceeds 15 million UAH.
📌A similar scheme was implemented at Krasnopavlivka Lyceum, where, with the assistance of Synehubov and Lozova mayor Serhii #Зеленський, the shelter estimate rose from 125 million to over 214 million UAH. By the way, on this fact and following our materials the National Police opened criminal proceeding No. 12026220000000402 under part 4 of article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
📌Meanwhile, in Kharkiv itself the team of Mayor Ihor Terekhov awarded the construction of the shelter for Lyceum No. 51 for 209 million UAH to PE BF “#Промтекс”, while JSC “Trest #Житлобуд-1” received a contract for 244 million UAH through discriminatory requirements in the documentation. In all estimates, prices for basic building materials exceed market rates by 20-60%.
Thus, instead of creating a reliable shield for the civilian population in the frontline region, the leadership of the regional military administration, city councils, and law enforcement agencies organized a closed vertical for siphoning budget funds through conversion centers and attached contractors, which in wartime is a direct crime against state security.
