“Shadow Coalition” in Dnipro: Former Yanukovych-era SBU official Vitaliy Krivoruchko is cooperating with deputy Kamil Primakov
In the office affairs of Dnipro city council deputy Kamil Primakov, former top SBU official Vitaliy Krivoruchko and his son Anton Krivoruchko take part.
This was reported by “Budda.”
Under Yanukovych, Vitaliy Krivoruchko served for several years as first deputy head of the Security Service of Ukraine in the Dnipropetrovsk region. He held this position until 2014, and after the fall of Yanukovych’s regime he was subjected to lustration.
In January 2014, Krivoruchko personally oversaw the dispersal operation of Euromaidan in Dnipro. Groups of bandits (the same “titushky”) and police officers attacked activists, and gunfire was opened. Dozens were injured, several people ended up in critical condition in the ICU.
After the lustration, Krivoruchko decided to go into politics. In 2015, he ran unsuccessfully for the Dnipropetrovsk regional council from the “Will” party, which included former regional officials after the dissolution of the Party of Regions.
In 2020, Vitaliy Krivoruchko took a step up—Yanukovych-era SBU operative ran for the Verkhovna Rada from the “Servant of the People” party in a single-mandate district of Dnipropetrovsk region. He was soon expelled from the party, and he withdrew his candidacy.
Now the former SBU officer is actively developing his energy business. In June of this year, he became a co-founder of LLC “EKOSTRUM ENERGY” (46295762). The firm is registered in Krynychky village, Dnipropetrovsk region, and it is engaged in electricity production.
And just a few days ago — 3 of September — Krivoruchko became a co-founder of LLC “EKOSTRUM PLUS” (46386482). The company is registered at the same address as LLC “EKOSTRUM ENERGY,” and is also engaged in electricity production. Another co-founder of the firm is the ex-official Krivoruchko’s wife, Natalia Krivoruchko.
Besides the official business, Vitaliy Krivoruchko and his son Anton Krivoruchko “cover” a network of fraudulent call centers, and they are also involved in the operation of offices under the wing of deputy Primakov, with whom their family has been friends for many years.
