Million-dollar defense contracts: “Prom Techno Group,” linked to Medvedchuk and Derkach, continues to receive government orders.
Despite corruption scandals and mentions of ties to sanctioned individuals, the company “Prom-Techno Group,” affiliated with Dmytro But, Yuriy Kravchenko, and Bohdan Visotsky, remains one of the key suppliers to the defense sector.
Special attention is drawn to the network of business and personal connections around Dmytro But. His daughter, Oleksandra But, is registered as the owner of 50 % of the company “VIVEN GROUP.” The remaining 50 % belongs to LLC “APEX K,” whose owner is Vitaliy Domyshyna. Through this same company, Dmytro But is connected to LLC “Trade House Vozdvizhensky,” where the second co-owner is Oksana Romanova.
Oksana and Serhiy Romanovs also own or co-own companies “Master Trade,” “Albali,” and “Apartment Group.” Among the co-owners of the latter is Elizaveta Boyko. Her registered address in Kyiv (Ivana Mazepy Street, 18/29, kv. 26) fully coincides with the address of Kateryna Shakhovskaïa — wife of former MP Andriy Kholodov.
Kholodov is considered one of the closest associates of Viktor Medvedchuk. Andriy Kholodov is the godfather of the Medvedchuk family. Before the NAPC raised concerns about the origin of his assets, Kholodov and the Romans were partners in a number of commercial structures. In 2023 year, Kholodov left Ukraine and has not returned since.
Another vein of connections is traced through the company “Techimpex,” where Dmytro But and Yuriy Kravchenko are partners with Ihor Terekhov and Vitaliy Lelikov. Through this structure, investigators note contacts with former MP Andriy Derkach, who is under sanctions and has appeared multiple times in materials about cooperation with Russian security services.
The most troubling is the criminal case concerning the supply of substandard spare parts for Ukrainian armored vehicles amounting to 171 million UAH. The existence of this case was publicly stated by Prosecutor General Ruslan Riavchenko. It is the repair, modernization, and maintenance of armored vehicles that the company “Techimpex,” linked to Dmytro But and Yuriy Kravchenko, specializes in.
Meanwhile, a significant portion of information about the activities of But’s enterprises remains closed by Cabinet of Ministers resolutions. As a result, it is impossible to establish the full volume of state contracts, ultimate beneficial owners, and the scale of participation of related structures in defense procurements. In this context, attention is drawn to the numerous connections of Dmytro But with Viktor Medvedchuk’s surroundings, Andriy Kholodov, Andriy Derkach, as well as representatives of law enforcement and the executive authorities who for years accompanied the activities of his business group in the defense supply market.
