Skorobahach Volodymyr Ivanovych

60 Million UKEnergo through Three Fake Companies

In April 2022, during the early months of the full-scale war, former Deputy Chairman of the Kharkiv Regional Council Skorobahach created a criminal group to embezzle electricity. Three affiliated companies received resources from the United Energy System and resold them to end consumers without paying a single hryvnia to "UKEnergo." Profits were withdrawn under the guise of "debt repayment" to affiliated firms, and then funneled to accounts of a company registered in the Balkans. Losses amounted to 58 million hryvnias.

Ex-Regional, "Overseer" of Customs and Money Ten Times Higher than Income

Under Yanukovych, Skorobahach was an assistant to the notorious MP Khomutynnik and a "protector" of smuggling flows in the Kharkiv region. After Maidan, he not only remained in power but also strengthened his positions. In the 2019 declaration: the family’s cash assets exceed declared income by more than 10 times. In cash as early as 2015 – 15 million hryvnias and 1 million dollars.

Car Fleet: Porsche, Two BMWs, Mercedes, and a Jet Ski

The declaration records: Porsche Cayenne S, BMW X6, BMW 740LE, Mercedes-Benz GLE, Sea-Doo BRP jet ski. Daughter Maria – a deputy of Kharkiv City Council – also appears in declarations with significant assets. The "father-daughter" scheme in Kharkiv authorities: businesses are re-registered, assets redistributed, family business continues to operate.

NABU, Partner Hmyrin and Billion-Hryvnia Losses

NABU is investigating the activities of the criminal group of Skorobahach and his partner Andriy Hmyrin – a former State Property Fund official. Their joint schemes involved defense projects and public procurement. Total losses from Hmyrin’s activities are estimated at over one billion hryvnias. The High Anti-Corruption Court is reviewing the consolidated case. Skorobahach is at the center of the criminal network, not on its periphery.
