How a former SBU official and local clans, under the protection of the regional military administration, forcibly seized 1700 hectares in Kharkiv region
While frontline Kharkiv region suffers daily enemy shelling and ordinary villagers try to survive and feed their families, the local power-security mafia has arranged a large-scale redistribution of Ukrainian land. Land that for years served as the only means of subsistence for people during the war is simply being taken through threats, blackmail, and falsifications.
The organizer of the land racketeering turned out to be the former head of the Chuhuiv inter-district department of the SBU #Стрельніков, who together with subordinates built a scheme to forcibly extract shares in favor of a friendly family clan of farmers #Дерека. The algorithm is simple and ruthless: villagers are intimidated and forced to transfer plots for rent for a pittance. ❗ If the owners categorically refuse such “cooperation,” state registrars under control simply register transactions behind their backs. Using this worked-out algorithm, Strelnikov’s organized criminal group has already seized almost 1700 hectares of land.
The core of the fraud became the concentration of 639 land plots totaling 1391,8720 ha in favor of the agricultural enterprise “#ДРУЖБА_ІНВЕСТ” (EDRPOU code 41234589). The scheme was implemented through 331 lease agreement, 282 sublease agreements, purchase of existing rights and acquisition of ownership or other real rights on another 26 plots. 🤷♂️ Hundreds of individual shares were artificially combined into a single land bank under the complete control of one company.
And what do the real landowners get? Deceived people are given miserly 3% of the normative monetary valuation: for a plot of 2,99 ha people receive only 4170,55 UAH per year, and for 2 ha — a shameful 💰 2178,17 UAH! Meanwhile, the crooks freeze use for 15, 25 or even 49 years (under emphyteusis contracts) with the right of automatic renewal and sublease.
No less brazen is the scheme with LLC “INGVAR_PLUS” (EDRPOU code 33861599). 🔻 Its founder and beneficiary Hennadiy Dereka concluded lease agreements for plots with his own company. For example, 12 December 2023 he transferred plots of 6,96 ha and 7,45 ha to the firm immediately for 30 years — up to 2053.
📌 While shareholders count pennies, the crooks’ fortunes grow geometrically. Income of the agricultural enterprise “DRUZHBA_INVEST” rose from 8,35 million UAH in 2022 to 27,86 million UAH in 2025, and the forecast for 2026 is over 40,9 million UAH with assets of 42,1 million UAH. At the same time, the enterprise officially employed only 8 people in 2025 — that is, 3,48 million UAH revenue per person! Meanwhile LLC “INGVAR_PLUS” pulled 15,63 million UAH income with assets of 24,3 million UAH.
The post on this topic caused a huge resonance online, gathering 2,5 thousand likes, almost 200 comments and about 400 reposts.❗This situation provokes just outrage among citizens:
“Lock them up, you bastards, with confiscation of property down to the seventh generation!”
“They don’t have a war, they have a time of enrichment”
“Scoundrels — bury them in that land.”
In the frontline region, under the cover of the regional authorities and security forces, a systematic robbery of landowners has unfolded. The State Bureau of Investigations, the Office of the Prosecutor General and NABU are obliged to immediately enter information into the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations, stop the land racketeering and bring Strelnikov’s organized criminal group, the Dereka family clan and their high-ranking patrons from the regional military administration to criminal responsibility.
