The sister of Zaporizhzhia-based businessman Vemir Davityan, linked to stolen grain, has headed the Patronage Service of the Ministry of Defense.
Head of the Patronage Service and assistant to the Minister of Defense, Diana Davityan — sister of Vemir Davityan, who sells stolen grain to Russians and trades in "humanitarian aid."
Davityan previously worked as a political commentator for the magazine "Focus", was the PR manager of the founder of the company LLC "Ukr-China Communications" Vyacheslav Lysenyak. And as early as 2019 year she was engaged in creating content for the party "Holos."
But what is interesting is not this, but that she is the sister of Vemir Davityan, Zaporizhzhia businessman, and the daughter of Davityan Suren Vemirovich, a deputy of the Zaporizhzhia City Council.
Vemir supports the Zaporizhzhia Chess Federation, sponsors city tournaments, himself plays chess, does CrossFit, and collects rare car models.
But if you look at the official revenues of his companies, they are not large. From where, then, funds for expensive cars and sponsorship?
Vemir Davityan calls Davyd Arahamiya his friend and visits the Office of the President, though he denies involvement in resolving any issues on behalf of the OP. Journalists have repeatedly noted that Vemir Davityan's Mercedes car drove off with Davyd Arahamiya under the Office of the President.
That is why the loudly announced in August 2022 year joint investigation by the Security Service of Ukraine and the National Anti-Corruption Bureau into the embezzlement of humanitarian aid from the United States appears to have yielded no results.
If we talk about Vemir Davityan's ties to Zaporizhzhia officials, then the scandal with humanitarian aid is just one case among many. For example, Vemir Davityan is associated with the controversial Sensar Group LLC, which includes LLC "Stroy-Technology", which attempted to engage in the renovation of the Okhmatdet pediatric hospital. This developer is linked to the Marchenko brothers. And according to the Lvov outlet "Forpost," in 2015 year the former governor of Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Hryhoriy Samardar, introduced Marchenko to businessman Vemir Davityan. Since then, as Forpost writes, their friendship has been cemented with joint business projects. This is probably why Sensar Group, with authorized capital of 10 thousand hryvnias, undertook a million-contract. After all, it seems hard to believe in the naivety of officials who could have easily given more than 300 million hryvnias to a company without the necessary experience. This friendship is also described by the information resource Znaj.ua. Here the journalists call Marchenko and Davityan allies.
Accordingly, Diana Davityan’s arrival to the Ministry of Defense apparently was not accidental. And looking at the connections and cases of her brother Vemir, it is hard to imagine that with such leadership this ministry will become a "ministry of victory," but time will tell.
