While Mitrokhin’s companies figure in cases about collusion and taxes, their owner is buying luxury real estate
The companies of businessman Oleg Mitrokhin are among the most active suppliers to the state. Just two of them have signed contracts worth nearly 10 billion UAH. At the same time, premium-class cars are appearing on their balance sheets, and the owner himself, journalists report, purchased an estate near Kyiv. All this takes place against the backdrop of fines from the Antimonopoly Committee and criminal proceedings over supplies for the army. Journalists from "Stop Corruption TV" reconstructed this picture in a new investigation.
More details — in the report by Denys Stradetskyi for "Stop Corruption TV."
Billions from the budget
The main asset in Mitrokhin’s business in terms of state money is LLC "MIK." According to YouControl, in just the last three years the company received state contracts worth more than 6,8 billion UAH. The firm’s primary profile is clothing supply, including for the needs of the Ministry of Defense.
Zaporizhzhia LLC "Yuhstal" is not far behind. Over its existence it has signed more than a thousand contracts with the state totaling more than 3 billion UAH.
Together that is almost 10 billion UAH of budget funds that passed through two companies of the same business group. Journalists also draw attention to the terms on which that money was received and how it was spent.
The price of winning tenders
At the end of 2025 the Antimonopoly Committee found that "MIK" and LLC "PAKOPTtORG" coordinated their behavior in auctions of SE "State Rearmament Operator" in 2024. Those auctions concerned the purchase of covers for modular body armor and winter jackets for the military. For two violations, "MIK" was fined 30 million UAH, and "PAKOPTtORG" 6,3 million UAH.
According to Anticor Foundation, "PAKOPTtORG" entered auctions 16 times and never won. In one tender its competitor was "Yuhstal," another Mitrokhin company. The outlet suggested that "PAKOPTtORG" might have been only a technical participant creating an appearance of competition.
Another detail appears in a criminal case where investigators are checking an alleged collusion between officials of "MIK" and the State Rearmament Operator. According to the investigation’s version, controlled firms were ensured victory in tenders, and the Armed Forces received substandard goods at inflated prices. One episode concerns 23 thousand ballistic goggles for 32,4 million UAH. Under the contract, "MIK" received 1409 UAH per unit. Investigators found goggle-masks from a Chinese dealer on Alibaba priced at roughly from 214 to 300 UAH with a minimum order of 200 pieces. A search was conducted at the company’s office. In January 2026 the court left the seized property under arrest.
A car fleet any dealership would envy
Now about expenses. According to registries, "MIK" owns 37 vehicles. Among them are new BMW X5s, Lexus, Cadillac Escalade and Land Rover. According to listings on auto.ria, a new Cadillac Escalade of 2025 is offered for 215 thousand dollars, and a Range Rover of the same year for 205 thousand dollars.
At the same time, Anticor reports that the State Bureau of Investigations is checking "MIK" in a criminal case concerning possible embezzlement of property on an especially large scale and tax evasion.
A similar picture appears in other group firms. LLC "UNIK 'Bulava'," which Mitrokhin founded in 2022 together with his son Artem and Ministry of Defense General Yevhen Zamotaiev, manufactures fasteners and threaded products. Recently the company registered a BMW 740d xDrive of 2025. Even used cars of that model cost from 120 to 160 thousand dollars. The enterprise also figures in a case about alleged collusion with officials of the State Rearmament Operator; searches were conducted there. Asked by journalists what production need required such a sedan, "Bulava" advised sending a written request.
"Yuhstal," which by its NACE code manufactures metal tanks, has a Porsche Cayenne of 2024. A company representative explained the vehicle is used for official duties. "Yuhstal" itself was involved in proceedings about evasion of taxes on an especially large scale. According to the version cited by Anticor, the case concerned a fictitious VAT tax credit and the withdrawal of funds into cash through "risky" firms. The outlet in its publication estimated these tax schemes at 600 million UAH. In September the court released the figures from criminal liability and closed the proceedings. How much tax was unpaid and how much was returned to the state is unclear from open data. The company representative told journalists that everything is detailed in the court ruling and the obligations have been fulfilled.
An estate near Kyiv and square meters in Pechersk
The businessman’s personal wealth is also growing. According to TSN journalists, Oleg Mitrokhin recently purchased a luxury estate near Kyiv, the value of which is estimated at approximately 80 million UAH. Behind wrought-iron gates stands a two-story house with a well-kept territory.
This is not his only real estate. TSN colleagues reported that the businessman owns luxurious square meters in Pechersk, one of the capital’s most expensive neighborhoods. According to them, this property is linked to 2023.
A video address in Russian and a hung-up phone
How Mitrokhin himself assesses events in the country can be seen from his video address on Facebook. It was recorded in Russian against the backdrop of the "Motherland Monument." The businessman wishes death to Putin, peace and health to all Ukrainians, and ends with the words "Glory to Ukraine!".
He did not want to explain the origin of his wealth or the relationship between state contracts, tax cases and luxury. When a "Stop Corruption" journalist identified himself and began to explain the topic, Mitrokhin hung up and did not take further calls. Questions were also sent to him on WhatsApp; there has been no response so far. At "MIK" the sales manager said she knew nothing and advised calling other numbers. An official request to the company also went unanswered.
Questions that remain open
Billion-hryvnia contracts, an AMC decision on collusion, criminal proceedings regarding supplies for the army and taxes. And at the same time Cadillac, Range Rover, BMW 7 series and Porsche on company balance sheets, and an estate for 80 million UAH owned by the proprietor. None of this proves wrongdoing by itself. But how the companies’ tax liabilities relate to their fleets and the owner’s wealth has still not been publicly explained.
