From 1 to 7 November, the Prozorro system published 73 thousand procurement notices totaling 21,08 billion UAH.
The largest contract of the week across Ukraine (see the leaderboard at the bottom) was 655 million UAH for construction of a protective structure for one of the critical infrastructure facilities in Zaporizhzhia region. The local regional state administration awarded this contract to Construction Company Kalmius. The same contracting authority awarded this firm another contract this week for construction of an additional protective structure worth 173 million UAH, which also made the Top-10 procurements of the week. All contract data are classified with government permission to hide estimated prices in procurements related to infrastructure facilities.
This is the second time this fall that Kalmius has stood out with giant contracts ranking in the top ten nationwide. In September it received 2,1 billion UAH in the Recovery Agency system for substation protection. That coincided with the appointment of Ivan Fedorov as head of the Agency; before that he led the Zaporizhzhia regional state administration, which awarded the Kalmius contracts this week.
LLC Construction Company Kalmius is linked to Ivan Fedorov’s inner circle (“Ivan Fedorov Group. Criminal dossier”).
Kalmius received its first state contract in March 2025, two weeks after it was founded. At that time the company demonstrated its experience by showing it had a subcontract agreement with another company, Pozitiv, for construction of an underground lyceum. A few days after Pozitiv steered Kalmius onto that contract, Pozitiv was punished by the Antimonopoly Committee for collusion on another tender. As a result, Pozitiv could no longer participate in subsequent tenders, and Kalmius replaced it.
The company Pozitiv, which provided Kalmius with that experience, was registered in Melitopol before the invasion, when the mayor there was Ivan Fedorov. It changed its registration to Zaporizhzhia when Fedorov headed the regional administration. The company is owned by Maksym Haidai, the former director of the Vikonda showroom. Previously the owner was Melitopol city council deputy Mykola Bilyi, owner of Vikonda-Zaporizhzhia.
Kalmius founder Danylo Sandyriev was not previously known in large-scale construction. Before that he worked on installing saunas, fireplaces, and chimneys, and he still advertises that business on his own website.
At the same time, the publication “368.media” linked Sandyriev to People’s Deputy Serhii Min’ko. In 2014–2019 years Min’ko was mayor of Melitopol, and Ivan Fedorov served as his deputy at that time.
Melitopol also connects to Kalmius through its cooperation with the company Morena SK, from which the firm rents construction equipment. Morena SK appears in the Bureau of Economic Security investigation into possible embezzlement of budget funds on fortification construction in Zaporizhzhia region. According to law enforcement, that company is controlled by former Melitopol city council deputy Serhii Bilovol, who is the main suspect in the case.
