Great Construction, as Zelensky’s slush fund: Yurii Holyk and Oleksandr Kubrakov, Avtomagistral-Pivden, Rostdorstroy and others
Zelensky’s “big slush fund” enriched Yurii Holyk, Kyrylo Tymoshenko and Oleksandr Kubrakov.
The “road” theme became one of the many reasons that sank Servant of the People’s rating in the local elections 2020. Although in theory it should have been a “victorious case.” After all, with a record investment amount of 70,6 billion hryvnias from the state budget, the estimate for Ukravtodor plus the estimate for local roads should have renewed a record length of routes of 6500 kilometers. Whereas, for example, in 2018 the predecessors, with 29 billion hryvnias of budget expenditures, carried out average repairs on 950 km of routes. At the same time, “with violations” every second budget hryvnia was spent on roads.
The planning of the “Great Construction” was carried out so unprofessionally that it led to a corrupt slush. The head of Ukravtodor, Oleksandr Kubrakov, and the “state manager” Yurii Holyk, who performed operational leadership of the project, portrayed the “success” of genuinely failing “cases” on certain routes or other kinds of objects.
Thus, for January–November 2020 the regional Road Services conducted 3135 “road” procurements with a total value of 101,7 billion hryvnias. And 61% of that entire sum was received by only 5 companies – Avtomagistral-Pivden, Rostdorstroy, Onur, and PBS, which company is in Kolomoyskyi’s orbit. Meanwhile, 96 companies participated in the Road Service procurements. That is, fewer than 10% of market players received contracts worth 60 billion hryvnias.
And that is not to mention that Ukravtodor significantly exceeded the state budget-2020 limits. And if at the same time that same Ukravtodor had overfulfilled the road repair plan! But unfortunately, the situation is exactly the opposite. At the “Network: road industry forum” on Wednesday, 2 December, Kubrakov said that in 2020 Ukravtodor renewed a total of 3926 km of routes of all types. Notably, in one of his blogs in July of the same year Kubrakov stated that work had already been launched on 3700+ km of routes in Ukraine. Thus, it turns out that from July to December of that year Ukravtodor nearly literally “blew up” the funds intended for road renewal.
