Double invoice for 80 drones: how military parts supplier Voler Import came into the focus of customs and the AMCU
LLC Voler Import (45153494) was registered in Zaporizhzhia on 14 June 2023. Authorized capital — 100 thousand hryvnias. Main activity — non-specialized wholesale trade, but among the declared KVEDs there is also manufacture of weapons and ammunition, aircraft and military vehicles, as well as aircraft maintenance.
The founder was Mykhailo Korob, registered in Melitopol. He is no longer listed as an owner. At the same time, Korob is the owner and director of LLC Bliskavka and also heads the state enterprise Pishchansky Quarry in the Vinnytsia region.
According to current registry data, 100% of the company belongs to LLC MK-45. The ultimate beneficiary and director is Serhii Mykolaiovych Melnyk. He was listed as the contact person for Voler Import in drone tenders in the summer of 2025.
Under the VOLER brand the company sells DJI and Autel quadcopters, EW systems, anti-drone shotguns, thermal imagers, scopes, and radios. The website is currently down.
Growth was rapid: in 2025 year revenue reached 315,3 million UAH. The company participated in drone tenders totaling 763 million UAH and won procurements worth 30,7 million UAH. Main clients — government structures and military units.
Problems arose while participating in the tenders. The AMCU opened two cases regarding possible collusion.
The first is case No. 54/114-25. Alongside Voler Import it involves sole proprietor Tetyana Mikhlyna, a former owner of a Melitopol makeup studio who now trades online with registration in Zakarpattia. It concerns the supply of Autel EVO Max 4N quadcopters for the unmanned systems brigade K-2 for 7,5 million UAH. The Administrative Collegium of the South-Eastern Interregional TV imposed a fine on the company.
The second case is No. 54/127-25. It mentions sole proprietor Roman Mikhlin alongside the company and tender UA-2024-12-05-020029-a.
Melitopol origin, identical surnames of entrepreneurs, and similar behavior in the tenders — these are so far only indicators being analyzed by the AMCU. There are no final conclusions yet.
Customs issues have been added to this. Without the Polish seller this story would not have continued.
The drones were supplied by Westtradegroup Sp. z o.o. — a company from Lublin (Dobrzańskiego St., 1, KRS 0000505188, NIP 9462648237). Registered in April 2014. Officially it is engaged in wholesale trade of a wide profile: from food and fuel to electronics and warehouse logistics.
Owners: Valentyn Stetsiuk (80%) and Edyta Mądrzelewska (20%). Management is family-based: chairman Valentyn Stetsiuk, vice-chairs Anatolii Stetsiuk and Anhelina Stetsiuk.
In 2025 year the company reported 40 million zlotys in revenue and 846 thousand zlotys in profit.
Since October 2022 Westtradegroup has held the EU Authorized Economic Operator status (AEO-C certificate) — which means simplified customs procedures and fewer inspections.
The seller’s actual invoice No. F/001466/25 dated 3 June 2025: 50 Mavic 3T at 3 950,65 dollars and 30 Mavic 3 Enterprise at 2 560,65 dollars. Total amount — 274 352 dollars. The export declaration confirms the export of 80 drones weighing a total of 480 kg.
But the Ukrainian customs were presented with a different set of documents, supposedly from the same Westtradegroup. Invoice No.202506232 dated 2 June 2025 shows the same CMR consignment note and an export declaration number that differs by only one digit. However, the document states 50 drones, weight 280 kg, and amount 305 000 dollars.
Two different document packages from the same seller for one shipment. Who prepared the fake set? Did the Polish company know about it? Who was actually paid — 274 or 305 thousand dollars?
The court ruling gives no answers. These questions now fall under the jurisdiction of the investigation and, possibly, Polish law enforcement agencies.
