Almost a million in income, one person on staff, and probable ties to Akhmetov, Zhevago, and the Communist Party: what is known about LLC “BERN AI TI” from the orbit of Mykhailo Fedorov?
Where is former defense minister and country’s top digitizer Mykhailo Fedorov now? According to Opendatabot, a week ago he joined the co-founders of IT company LLC "BERN AI TI". This firm was registered in the summer of 2025, and among its beneficiaries, besides Fedorov, is a man whose full name matches the data of the Metinvest lawyer. What is this firm known for and why did Stopkor pay attention to it?
25 October, an anonymous Telegram channel "Joker" wrote that former defense minister Mykhailo Fedorov allegedly went on a one-month business trip to the USA. At the same time, Fedorov publicly did not announce leaving Ukraine.
According to information from "Joker", Fedorov apparently has a new booking through LLC "BERN AI TI".

The status of critically important enterprise for LLC "BERN AI TI" (EDRPOU code 46007651) is officially not confirmed in open government registries, because lists of such companies are closed for security reasons. However, the company has a high chance of obtaining or already having this status, considering its profile. For the IT sector in Ukraine, there is a separate procedure through the Ministry of Digital Transformation or a residency in Diia.City. The company may be recognized as critically important if it meets basic government criteria.
Average salaries of employees exceed the established minimum (more than 21 617 UAH). There is no tax arrears and no single social contribution debt. The company has strategic importance for the digital infrastructure or for supporting the economy.
