The head of the State Property Fund, Dmytro Natalukha, said that after restoring state control over the Indar pharmaceutical plant, the new management found 30 employees whom no one in the workforce knows, as well as additional facts of transfers of funds to private companies. This was reported by Hlavkom, citing a video address by Dmytro Natalukha on Facebook.
According to the head of the State Property Fund, seven days had passed since the state had restored control over the enterprise. During this time, the new management team began reviewing the documentation, staffing, and the plant’s financial activities.
One of the first discoveries was the circumstances of the former director Liuba Vynshyevska. As Natalukha stated, her contract, signed in 2012, provided for three years of work at the plant. However, in fact she managed the plant for about 14 years.
“Instead of three years, those years turned into 14 years. How this happened will be judged by history and lawyers,” said the head of the Fund.
Natalukha asserts that during this period the manager effectively determined the rules of how the plant operated: she decided whom to pay under contracts, approved or did not approve the staffing schedule, and submitted or did not submit financial plans and reports.
In addition, as a result of the initial checks at the plant, they found 30 so-called “dead souls.” According to the Fund’s head, these are people whom employees do not know and cannot explain who they are or what work they perform.
New details about 70 million UAH
Separately, Natalukha spoke about financial transactions with a private company, which had already attracted the attention of the State Property Fund.
According to him, in 2017–2022 years, investigations were conducted into this firm and criminal proceedings were opened. Despite this, in 2023–2024 years the plant transferred to it 70 million UAH. The funds were provided in the form of interest-free revolving financial assistance.
The Fund head noted that the company is now rapidly approaching bankruptcy. He drew attention to the fact that financial operations with it occurred even after previous investigations.
According to Natalukha, the check also revealed two more cases of money transfers under the same scheme.
“We found two more companies into which in 2025–2026 years they transferred 20 million UAH on the same scheme. Interest-free revolving financial assistance from the Indar plant to a private company,” he said.
One of these companies, according to plant staff, is a chain of pharmacies allegedly under the control of Liuba Vynshyevska. This information still needs to be verified.
Natalukha turned to law enforcement
The head of the State Property Fund believes that the uncovered circumstances require proper legal assessment. He stated his readiness to hand over to law enforcement agencies all materials of the checks, documents, and financial data on the basis of which the Fund formed its conclusions.
Separately, Natalukha appealed to law enforcement agencies with a call to take measures so that the former director of Indar does not leave Ukraine.
“I would like to address the law enforcement bodies with a call not to let Mrs. Vynshyevska escape abroad. Take all possible measures to ensure she remains within Ukraine,” the Fund head said.
Natalukha emphasized that the Fund is ready to provide the investigation with all materials it has. At the same time he did not report whether Vynshyevska had been formally charged or whether criminal proceedings had been opened specifically for the newly discovered episodes.
The final legal assessment of the circumstances will be provided by law enforcement agencies.
As a reminder, in 29 October the State Property Fund announced the restoration of control over the Indar plant and a change in its management. The new plant director became Ihor Matyunin, who replaced Liuba Vynshyevska. During the handover, Fund representatives found the disappearance of 27 hard drives from the servers. The drives were later found in a box in the trunk of a service vehicle. A National Police investigative group also worked at the plant.
In the previous report on financial transactions, the State Property Fund stated that one private counterparty owed the Indar more than 72 million UAH. Almost 69 million of this amount was the unrepaid interest-free financial assistance. According to the Fund, documents were also found regarding preparations for the company’s bankruptcy and familial ties between its management and representatives of the plant’s former management.
“Indar” is the only full-cycle insulin producer in Ukraine. The state owns 70,7% of the plant’s shares. Despite the controlling stake, for many years the state was effectively excluded from managing the plant due to legal and court decisions.
