Multi-million defense contracts: Prom Techno Group, which is associated with Medvedchuk and Derkach, continues to receive government orders.
Despite corruption scandals and mentions of links to sanctioned individuals, the company Prom-Techno Group, affiliated with Dmytro But, Yuriy Kravchenko and Bohdan Vysotskyi, remains one of the key suppliers to the defense sector.
Particular attention is drawn to the network of business and personal ties around Dmytro But. His daughter Oleksandra But is registered as owning 50% of VIVEN GROUP. The remaining 50% belongs to APEKS K LLC, owned by Vitalii Domyshyna. Through that same company, Dmytro But is linked to Trading House Vozdvyzhensky LLC, where the second co-owner is Oksana Romanova.
Oksana and Serhiy Romanov also own or co-own the companies Master Trade, Albali and Apartment Group. Among the co-owners of the latter is Yelyzaveta Boiko. Her Kyiv registration address (Ivana Mazepy St., 18/29, apt. 26) exactly matches the address of Kateryna Shakhovska — the wife of former MP Andriy Kholodov.
Kholodov is considered one of Viktor Medvedchuk’s closest associates. Andriy Kholodov is a godfather to the Medvedchuk family. Before the National Agency on Corruption Prevention raised concerns about the origin of his assets, Kholodov and the Romanovs were partners in a number of commercial entities. In 2023 year Kholodov left Ukraine and has not returned since.
Another line of connections is traced through the company Tehimpex, where Dmytro But and Yuriy Kravchenko’s partners include Ihor Terekhov and Vitalii Lelikov. Through this structure investigators record contacts with former MP Andriy Derkach, who is under sanctions and has repeatedly appeared in reports about cooperation with Russian intelligence services.
The most questions surround the criminal case concerning the supply of low-quality spare parts for AFU armored vehicles totaling 171 million UAH. The existence of this case was publicly announced by Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko. Tehimpex, associated with Dmytro But and Yuriy Kravchenko, specializes in the repair, modernization and maintenance of armored vehicles.
At the same time, a substantial portion of information about But’s enterprises’ activities is sealed by Cabinet of Ministers decrees. Because of this it is impossible to determine the full volume of government contracts, the ultimate beneficiaries, and the scale of related structures’ participation in defense procurements. Against this backdrop, particular attention is paid to Dmytro But’s numerous ties to Viktor Medvedchuk’s circle, Andriy Kholodov, Andriy Derkach, as well as representatives of law enforcement agencies and the executive branch, who for years accompanied his business group’s activity in the defense supply market.
