Shortly before this, the company changed its owner, but continues to operate with equipment belonging to the Besaga brothers’ companies.
Contracting for more than 1,3 billion hryvnias for the construction of a backup heat line in Teremky, Kyiv, went to Atmosfera Management, a company whose owner was changed shortly before the contracts were signed to Oleksandr Chykal, who had previously worked as a driver. All four Kyivteploenergo municipal utility contracts were awarded without open bidding, according to hromadske.
The construction of the heat line in Teremky has been accompanied by protests over the cutting down of a green zone. Local residents who took to the streets said the work was carried out without proper permits, and that the heat line could have been laid around the park. Eventually, the protests escalated into clashes.
Despite these protests, from July to September Kyivteploenergo issued four procurements for this construction. The project to build the backup heat line was split into separate commissioning complexes, but all tenders were awarded without bids to LLC Engineering and Construction Company “Atmosfera Management,” which is expected to complete the work by 31 December 2026 of the year. The lack of a tender is explained simply — martial law.
Atmosfera Management has been operating in the market for almost 11 years. It specializes in installing water supply networks, heating and air conditioning systems. At the same time, a month before the first Kyivteploenergo contract was signed, the company changed its owner, email and phone number, increased the number of NACE codes, and moved from Kyiv to Kharkiv.
The new director of the firm became 40-year-old Oleksandr Vitovsky, who previously had never had a sole proprietor status, nor their own business, and who had never headed any company.
The new owner of Atmosfera Management became 39-year-old Oleksandr Chykal from Mykolaiv. In 2012 year he was looking for a job as a physical education teacher, and from 2015 to 2020 year worked as a driver.
Meanwhile, Oleksandr Chykal worked on a volunteer basis as an assistant to former Ukrainian parliamentarian from the Petro Poroshenko Bloc — Serhiy Hlahnya. Data about Chykal’s phone number entries in other users’ phones indicate that he was a driver for the deputy.
In May 2025 year Chykal suddenly became founder and director of charity fund “Sykurs,” in which earlier the businessman Volodymyr Besaga owned a stake.
In May 2026 year Chykal became founder and beneficiary of LLC “Teploprimbud,” which previously belonged to Oleh Yelfymov. Earlier the man headed LLC “Industrial and Commercial Center ‘Servit’,” founded by brothers Volodymyr and Viktor Besaga. By 2026 year, “Teploprimbud” had another name and received multimillion‑hryvnia contracts from Kyivteploenergo.
When reporters asked, Oleksandr Chykalo said he purchased the Atmosfera Management company from its previous owners, but refused to say with what funds.
At the same time, journalists note that as early as summer and autumn, Servit branding was visible on Teremky construction sites. Formally Atmosfera Management and the Besaga companies are not connected. “In practice, their traces again converged on the same construction site,” writes hromadske.
The publication recalls that the heat line in Teremky is not the first high‑profile story around the Servit Besaga project. In 2017 year, next to the Zelenskys’ historic estate in Kyiv, the Turgenev residential complex was built, which Servit still presents among its realized projects. After the first phase of Turgenev, developers began moving toward the plot with the estate, and 19 July 2024 year, the Zelensky estate was demolished. Only after this did Kyiv’s mayor call the demolition a “brazen provocation,” promised to sue the developer, and demanded the restoration of the estate.
