Kharkiv cannibalism on the budget: how Syniehubov and Terekhov are 'sawing off' billions on children's shelters
While the Prime Minister announces inspections of shelters, in the frontline Kharkiv region officials seem to have confused the state budget with their own wallets. The leadership of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration (#ХОВА) headed by Oleh Syniehubov and the Kharkiv City Council under Ihor Terekhov have for years been building a cynical scheme to embezzle funds allocated to protect the most vulnerable — our children.
The scheme is simple: ❗ billion contracts without tenders are handed to 'their' companies, which often appear in criminal cases, and the prices in the estimates are inflated many times over.
Here are just a few participants in this 'bloody game': LLC “Proektnyi Alyans,” controlled by former MP from #ОПЗЖ Kolos through the Fortis Construction Group fund. 🤷♂️ Strangely, this company increased its revenue from 15,5 million UAH in 2022 to more than 2 billion UAH in 2025. Equally strange is that one of its owners, the Russian Rozhkov, was quietly removed when things got hot.
Despite an SBU Economic Security Bureau investigation into non-delivery operations and the terrible quality of fortifications that communities refused to take on their balance sheets, 🔻 the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration continues to funnel hundreds of millions of hryvnias to this structure for shelter construction.
Another favorite is LLC “SBK Sargon” of I. Kuprovskyi, which absorbed 2,24 billion UAH. 💰 132 million UAH was allocated for an underground shelter for the Barvinok-100 kindergarten in frontline Staryi Saltiv, 17 km from the border. And despite there being only 13 preschoolers left there, the contract amounts are staggering. Estimates showed price inflation on concrete and rebar up to 28%, and the contract was canceled only after our disclosure.
📌 Also not far behind is LLC “TT 2006” of V. Polezhayev, which took contracts worth 954 million UAH. The construction of a protective structure for a kindergarten in Derhachi for 176 million UAH for 278 people is accompanied by a probable overpayment on just one facility of more than 15 million UAH.
A similar scheme was implemented at Krasnopavlivka Lyceum, where, with the assistance of Syniehubov and Lozova mayor Serhiy Zelensky, the shelter estimate rose from 125 million to over 214 million UAH.
A post on this topic collected as many as 700 likes, nearly five hundred comments, and almost 200 reposts. ❗This situation arouses rightful public outrage:
“All sensible Ukrainians know that both Terekhov and Syniehubov are separatists and thieves!!!!!”
“They are not officials. They are marauders!!! Vampires.”
“These two scum should be in prison along with their separatist teams”
“After a strike they tell you to go to the shelter, but they don’t say which one or where to look for it unless you live near the subway”
Impunity breeds new crimes, and the price of this impunity is the lives and safety of citizens. While officials build palaces for themselves with stolen money, children in frontline regions remain defenseless against enemy shelling. This is shame and a betrayal of one’s own people.
