In particular, a group of interconnected contractors were awarded <strong>contracts worth 2.4 billion hryvnias<\/strong> to set up shelters in schools and nurseries, and around 1 billion hryvnias for the repair and refurbishment of hospitals.<\/p>\n<p>Some companies also received contracts to build fortifications and protect energy infrastructure. The companies mentioned in the investigation include \u00abMelsity\u00bb, \u00abAkvi-Bud\u00bb, \u00abVivat-Bud\u00bb, \u00abPositive Company\u00bb and \u00abFundament-L\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p>Journalists found that, following the conclusion of supplementary agreements, the value of individual contracts increased by an average of 70%.<\/p>\n<h2>\u00abKalmius\u00bb received a further 2.1 billion hryvnias following Fedorov\u2019s appointment<\/h2>\n<p>Journalists paid particular attention to the company \u00abKalmius\u00bb, which has secured new contracts from the reconstruction authorities in the Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk regions. These contracts involve the installation of anti-drone defences along motorways and the protection of energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>According to journalists\u2019 estimates, the total value of the company\u2019s contracts over a period of approximately one and a half years reached 5.6 billion hryvnias.<\/p>\n<p>The reports also raise the issue of the cost of certain building materials and the lack of competition in some procurement processes. At the same time, price differences do not in themselves prove that the cost of the works has been unlawfully inflated.<\/p>\n<h2>Possible kickbacks and criminal proceedings<\/h2>\n<p>A businessman is mentioned in the investigations <strong>Mykola Belyi<\/strong>, whom certain media outlets described as being close to Fedorov.<\/p>\n<p>Journalists from \u00abLokator-Media\u00bb had previously reported on an alleged kickback scheme involving 10%, based on the value of contracts, with part of the funds subsequently being transferred into cryptocurrency. These allegations remain journalistic theories rather than facts established by a court.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, certain companies were mentioned in the case files of criminal proceedings conducted by the Economic Security Bureau and the Security Service of Ukraine concerning possible malpractice in the construction of fortifications and price gouging.<\/p>\n<p>The Antimonopoly Committee also identified breaches of competition involving certain contractors.<\/p>\n<p>Those implicated in the investigation deny any involvement in possible schemes or any influence over public procurement. The mere fact that the company is mentioned in the criminal proceedings does not imply that its guilt has been proven.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u041a\u043e\u043c\u043f\u0430\u043d\u0456\u0457, \u043f\u043e\u0432\u2019\u044f\u0437\u0430\u043d\u0456 \u0437
