Several lawsuits have been filed with the Commercial Court of the Lviv region by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the state enterprise “Defense Procurement Agency” to recover penalty sanctions from LLC “Yugstal” for improper performance of contracts for the supply of goods paid for with state funds. The total amount of the asserted claims exceeds 16 million UAH.
The largest claim relates to contract No. 343/3/2025/7 dated 25 February 2025. The Ministry of Defense requests recovery of 9,27 million, of which 5,18 million UAH is interest and 4,1 million UAH is a penalty. Case No. 908/2152/26 has been assigned to Judge Azizbekyan T.A.
A separate claim was filed under contract No. 343/3/2025/8 dated the same day for the amount of 5,54 million UAH (interest 2 897 282,64 UAH and penalty 2 644 322,10 UAH). The case was assigned to Judge Naumenko A.O.
Under contract No. 337/07-24-RM dated 23 July 2024, the “Defense Procurement Agency” is claiming 1,56 million UAH in interest for late delivery for 26 calendar days.
In one of the cases, the court has already partially granted the claim and recovered from “YUGSTAL” in favor of the “Defense Procurement Agency” 191 thousand UAH in interest and court fees. Recovery of the remaining interest in the amount of 1 718 009,67 UAH was denied.
On 20 October 2026 the “Defense Procurement Agency” filed an appeal against the Commercial Court of the Lviv region’s decision dated 5 October 2026. The plaintiff asks to overturn the denial to recover 310 thousand UAH and to fully satisfy the claims in the amount of 382 thousand UAH.
All claims are based on violations of delivery deadlines under state contracts and the contract terms regarding the accrual of interest and penalties. The cases are at various stages of consideration in the Commercial Court of the Lviv region.
LLC “Yugstal” is owned by Oleg Mitrokhin and Andriy Zaika. The latter was exempted from criminal liability for organizing a scheme to evade tax payments.
