              During the investigation, detectives of the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine established that in March 2022, during the full-scale armed aggression of the Russian Federation, officials of one of the state enterprises of Ukroboronprom purchased low-quality goods for military purposes which caused the waste of budget funds in the total amount of UAH 5.4 million . So far, six officials have been notified of the suspicion.

These employees abusing their position concluded contracts with natural persons entrepreneurs on the purchase of military equipment on the basis of which funds in the amount of UAH 1.98 million and UAH 3.49 million were transferred, respectively.

The mentioned goods did not meet the terms of the contract but were transferred to one of the military units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the performance of combat missions. Inadequate categorisation and product quality made its use impossible.

According to the results of investigative actions, a complex of forensic examinations and other evidence, the facts of non-compliance with the technical conditions of the mentioned products were confirmed.

ESBU detectives informed six employees of the enterprise that they were suspected of committing the crimes provided for in Part 5 of Art. 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine – embezzlement of someone else's property by abusing his official position by an official, with a prior conspiracy by a group of persons, in particularly large amounts and part 2 of Art. 28, Part 2 of Art. 366 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine – issuance by an official of knowingly false official documents, entry of knowingly false information into official documents, committed by a group of persons with a prior conspiracy, which caused grave consequences. Currently, the question of the suspect's choice of preventive measures in the form of detention is being resolved.


Pre-trial investigation in criminal proceedings is carried out by detectives of the Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine under the procedural guidance of prosecutors of the General Prosecutor's Office and operational support of the Security Service of Ukraine.

Note: in accordance with Art. 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is considered innocent of committing a crime and cannot be subjected to criminal punishment until his guilt is proven in a legal manner and established by a court verdict.
