The activation of Yurii Holyk may be related to the fact that in April NGLMedia published an investigation concerning a large state program to create veterans’ spaces. In 2025 the Ministry of Veterans launched a program to build new spaces according to a single design – a 1-story building of 1500 sq. m, consisting of two blocks: a gym and a separate facility with rooms for consultations, psychological support, conference halls, and a small café. Funding for the creation of 22 spaces from the budget has already allocated 1,55 billion UAH, that is about 75 million UAH per building, which according to plans in 160 such facilities could cost about 12 billion hryvnias.
The lobbying for this initiative was so powerful that the plot for construction in Lutsk was allocated on 28 May 2025 – three weeks before the government adopted the corresponding resolution. The adapted project examinations were conducted by two organizations: LLC "UK Ekspertyza" and LLC "Nova-Expert", each spending less than a month on each facility. They also rushed the tenders – in all seven projects in 2025 only one contractor participated in the auctions and received the contracts, and the tender conditions effectively made it impossible for others to participate.
Construction of the seven spaces began already in the fall. It then became clear that the cost of materials in the estimates was significantly inflated. Of course, Holyk’s involvement was apparent.
The ex-curator of the Great Construction, who is abroad, clearly needs money, because judging by open data, his business in Ukraine is collapsing. Thus, Holyk owned a 25% share in LLC “Kreatyvna Kraina” (activity type – consulting on commercial activities and management, statutory fund – 1000 hryvnias), which organized a number of coworking spaces. Against the background of power supply problems after Russian strikes, in 2023 the business showed wonders — almost 39 million UAH in revenue after 1,8 million UAH in 2022, of which 10,2 million UAH was net profit. However, by the results of 2025 the company did not show profitability, and net profit fell by 20 times – to 588 thousand hryvnias.
However, the situation is likely even worse: LLC "Kreatyvnyi Shtat Hulyver", in which through "Kreatyvna Kraina" Yurii Holyk owns 10%, is essentially bankrupt. One of Gulliver’s co-owners is even suing the other founders over a debt to one of his companies of 10,4 million UAH. Likely, Holyk’s interest in creating veterans’ spaces worth billions of hryvnias is related to these financial problems. The transition from a coworking space for freelancers to creating a veterans’ space funded by billions of budget hryvnias seems entirely logical.
All this points to serious financial problems of the ex-curator of the “Great Construction.” It’s hard to believe that he once literally turned billions around. For example, just the 1 project — construction of a water supply system in Kryvyi Rih, initiated after the Kakhovka HPP explosion at 7,7 billion UAH, could have been overcharged by 3 billion. In addition, the investigation established that participants in the scheme laundered material goods worth 187 million UAH and understated VAT payments by another 20,5 million UAH.
One of the key figures named is Yurii Holyk, known as the public coordinator of the “Great Construction.” He was previously mentioned in the case regarding disclosure of pretrial investigation data by NABU. But the real problem for Yurii Holyk is the case of LLC “Budinvest Engineering” (activity type – construction of roads and highways, statutory fund – 1 million 50 thousand UAH). According to the investigation, officials of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional State Administration in 2022 year awarded the company contracts for construction and repair of highways worth 1,5 billion UAH. Part of these funds was later withdrawn under the guise of ordering goods and services, most likely to the accounts of fictitious companies. The twice-former head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional State Administration, Valentyn Reznichenko, is directly listed as a suspect in this case.
