How former Defense Minister Fedorov and the leadership of “AOZ” profited from Ukrainian defenders
✅And again our procedural victory. The High Anti-Corruption Court upheld our complaint about the inaction of #САП. Investigative judge #ВАКС Yevhen Kruk, by his ruling, obliged the authorized persons of the SAP to immediately enter information into the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations based on our statement of 25.07.2026 and to begin a pre-trial investigation into corruption schemes and embezzlement of budget funds on an especially large scale.
The main suspects in the investigation are former Minister of Defense of Ukraine Mykhailo #Федоров, his first deputy Oleksii #Вискуб, and the former director of SE “Defense Procurement Agency” #АОЗ Arsen #Жумаділов. ❗ The officials are suspected of creating an organized criminal group and embezzling over 1,27 billion hryvnias in defense tenders.
The leadership of the Defense Ministry and SE “Defense Procurement Agency” developed and implemented a systemic scheme to seize state funds by artificially restricting competition. 🔻 Using their official positions, the suspects drafted tender documentation with intentionally discriminatory requirements tailored to preselected “winners,” rejecting significantly cheaper and economically advantageous offers.
For example, during the May tender for the purchase of wheeled backhoe loaders worth 477,54 million UAH, the purchaser explicitly specified the requirement to supply the specific JCB 3CX brand. The proposal from LLC “TD ALFATECH” with Bobcat equipment, which was almost 75 million UAH cheaper, was 🤷♂️ unjustifiably rejected. As a result, the victory was awarded to the controlled LLC “CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY.”
By the same mechanism of artificially narrowing the market and writing requirements for a single participant, the tender for fuel tankers worth 💰 280,41 million UAH was awarded to LLC “TRADING HOUSE TEHKOMPLEKT,” and the procurement of specialized headsets worth 381,99 million UAH was awarded to LLC “TOP-TEKS.”
📌 In addition, the scheme involved an entire network of affiliated legal entities and individuals (in particular LLC “TS TRADE UKRAINE,” LLC “EQUIPTORG,” Dmytro Ilchev, Mykola Onyshchuk, Tetiana Vasylchenko), who acted as financial transit entities and nominal managers.
At our request, the SAP and NABU are obliged to verify the presented facts for possible criminal offenses provided for in Part 5 of Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (embezzlement of property on an especially large scale), Part 3 of Article 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (money laundering), Part 3 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (tax evasion), Part 1 of Article 255 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (creation and participation in a criminal organization), Article 336 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (evasion from conscription during mobilization).
No official, regardless of former positions or status, will avoid responsibility for looting the army during wartime. All guilty persons must face the harshest punishment, and the stolen billions must be returned to the state budget. Plundering the defense budget is a crime against the state.
