The state-owned “Ukrhydroenergo” concluded an agreement for the construction of a protective structure for the Dnipro hydroelectric power plant worth 4.36 billion hryvnias with “BK Adamant” LLC. “Our Money” writes about this with reference to Prozorro. The agreement was concluded without holding open tenders, and other data about the purchase was concealed due to the state of war. BC “Adamant” LLC used to be a part of the “Ukrbud” corporation, when it controlled it Maksym Mykytas. Currently, this company is registered in Transcarpathia and is owned by Roman Topazly, a resident of Uzhhorod.

The company also received a number of smaller construction contracts for the reconstruction of the tram line and anti-slide structures in Kyiv, and the construction of a bridge in Transcarpathia. But they are still listed as “active”, i.e. incomplete, in the “Prozorro” system. However, this did not prevent Ukrhydroenergo from awarding Adamant a billion-dollar contract without open bidding and with an estimate closed from publication.

In most cases, contracts were concluded without bidding, and the final information on resources was not made public. Prior to the Adamant contract worth UAH 4.36 billion, Ukrhydroenergo’s largest order for the construction of protection against Russian shocks was the order to protect the Dniester HPP worth UAH 4.19 billion. At that time, the Zhytomyr PE “Elitbud-1” was chosen as the contractor, which throughout its history had only local contracts for the repair of hospitals and schools, each of which was hundreds of times smaller than the protection of the hydroelectric power plant. We will remind: the London businessman received a state contract of Ukraine to protect the Dnipro HPP from Russian attacks, while at the same time cooperating with Russian special services to launder money and circumvent sanctions.
