Ballistic vests and helmets for the front are caught in a corruption loop involving Mitrokhin, Yevtushenko, AOZ, Zhumadilov, and Fedorov
#нампишуть that bureaucratic cover-ups and corrupt schemes during the war continue to undermine the state's defense capability. The state enterprise of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine “Agency for Defense Procurement” #АОЗ under the leadership of #Жумаділов and with the tacit assistance of former Defense Minister #Федоров is demonstrating criminal inaction regarding a bad-faith supplier.
📌LLC “Lider-NTZ” completely failed to fulfill state contract No. RM-10077-VDK-26 dated 15 January 2025 for the supply of 40000 full-size ballistic helmets with a total value of 295840000,00 UAH. According to the agreement, the first batch of 10000 units was to be delivered to the military before 30 June 2026, but as of today the delivery has not been made and the deadline has already been overdue for months.
The company made three consecutive attempts to submit batches of helmets of 2000 pieces for incoming quality control. ❗️None of them were accepted due to systemic nonconformity of the products with standards and the threat to servicemembers' lives.
The contract terms clearly provide: in case of three failed submissions due to poor quality and absent force majeure, the customer is obliged to terminate the contract and apply penalty sanctions. Instead, AOZ officials ignored the violations, did not terminate the agreement, and granted LLC “Lider-NTZ” additional time, which indicates the existence of a direct corrupt connection and an attempt to cover up the schemers.
Due to this inaction by the leadership, Ukrainian defenders remain without critically important protection at the front. 🤷♂️The situation becomes even more alarming given that the same firm won contract No. RM-10638-VDK-26 dated 20 April 2026 for the supply of 2000 sets of modular ballistic vests worth 32800000,00 UAH with a delivery deadline of 25 September 2026.
✅We are already preparing a request regarding the fact of the delay, the recording of the rejected batches by the Main Directorate of State Quality Assurance, the assessment of penalties, and holding the supplier accountable. If Zhumadilov and Fedorov continued to cover LLC “Lider-NTZ,” these actions must be immediately investigated by law enforcement agencies.
