The Supreme Court upheld the ruling to recover 1,1 billion UAH for the reconstruction of the Shulyavsky overpass

The Supreme Court has affirmed the ruling ordering the state to recover more than 1,1 billion UAH paid for the reconstruction of the Shuliavske interchange. Previously, the Economic Court and the appellate court had annulled the decision of the tender committee and the contract as such that contradicted the interests of the state and society. The prosecutor also sought to recover the above-mentioned funds to the state treasury.

This, as reported by Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office, is stated in a message.

The prosecutor’s office noted that the bidding held in 2018 year concerned works on the reconstruction of the transport interchange at the intersection of Prospekt Peremohy and Hetmana Street in the Solomiansky and Shevchenkivskyi districts of Kyiv (the so-called reconstruction of the Shuliavske highway overpass).

The winner was a private company with which the Kyiv Municipal Corporate Enterprise “Directorate for the Construction of Road-Transport Facilities of Kyiv” signed a contract for 598,5 million UAH.

As established by law enforcement authorities, by entering additional agreements, the time for completion of works was extended, and the price of the works increased almost 2 times. By the beginning of 2024 year, this private company had already received more than 1,1 billion UAH for the works performed.

“At the same time, the decision of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine found that the winner of the said bidding and another commercial entity that competed for the right to carry out the works during the tender engaged in anticompetitive coordinated actions, which distorted the bidding results,” the post noted.

Kyiv City Prosecutor’s Office filed a lawsuit in the Kyiv Commercial Court in the interest of the state to declare null and void the tender committee decision and the contract as such that contradicted the interests of the state and society. The prosecutor also asked to recover to the state treasury the above-mentioned 1,1 billion UAH.

By the decision of the Kyiv Commercial Court, upheld on appeal, the prosecutor’s claim was granted. The appellate court did not change these judgments, and the Supreme Court subsequently, in September 22, 2026, refused the defendant’s cassation and agreed with the prosecutor’s arguments.

As a reminder, the history of the Shuliavske highway overpass reconstruction began after a partial collapse of its structures in February 2017 year. Construction work on the “new” overpass started in March 2019 year. Over the years of reconstruction, the interchange repeatedly attracted the attention of law enforcement agencies — this culminated in numerous criminal proceedings. In particular, one case is being investigated by the National Police, which preliminarily established that the contractor — LLC “North Ukrainian Construction Alliance” — transferred 67,9 million hryvnias to the accounts of “fictitious” and “transit” companies. Kyiv prosecutors also obtained a court order to recover 1,1 billion hryvnias from the aforementioned LLC due to its competitor being a company connected with it, which violated conditions of economic competition.
