NABU is investigating at least 14 cases of alleged embezzlement of funds allocated for the construction of fortifications in the Poltava region under the leadership of Philip Pronin. During the searches, 300,000 dollars in cash, mobile phones, SIM cards and documentation of related companies were found in the possession of the suspects.
He reported it people’s deputy Yaroslav Zheleznyak on his own YouTube channels .
Zheleznyak published quotes from court rulings that confirm the information voiced in previous investigations regarding officials of the Poltava OVA and the leadership of the State Financial Monitoring Service (State Financial Monitoring).
Referring to NABU resolutions, the People’s Deputy noted that the activities of the participants included the following episodes:
- Direct theft on the fortifications of the Poltava OVA;
- The unfinished attempt to steal money for the reconstruction of the cardio center;
- Providing undue benefits to officials of the Military Commissariat, removal from the wanted list and unjustified booking;
- Illegal benefit to Pronin’s deputy Bohdan Korolchuk in the form of a personal driver;
- Unlawful benefit to officials of Poltava OVA in the amount of more than UAH 4 million for assistance in concluding contracts for the construction of fortifications, acceptance of works and their payment;
- Unlawful benefit in the form of a BMW X7 car worth UAH 3.5 million for the head of the department of Poltava OVA;
- Organization of a mobilization evasion scheme;
- Demanding and receiving of illegal benefits by TCC officials;
- Provision of official information by one of the participants, who moved to a management position at the State Financial Monitoring Service, to Enki Construction to provide an illegal advantage in procurement.
During the searches, about 300,000 dollars in cash, more than a hundred SIM cards, mobile phones, hard drives, seals of Ukrainian and offshore companies, as well as documents of legal entities were seized from the suspects, including the former first deputy head of Poltava OVA and the current deputy head of State Financial Monitoring. Some of the participants have already stated that the withdrawn funds are their personal savings.
People’s deputy Yaroslav Zheleznyak noted that this situation demonstrates large-scale corruption at the regional level. He emphasized that despite the publication of the facts of the investigation, the actions of NABU and the conducted searches, there is still no public reaction from the Office of the President and the Ministry of Finance, which is responsible for appointing the leadership of the State Financial Monitoring Service.
We will remind that the SBI systematically identifies persons who betrayed Ukraine or cooperated with the enemy during a full-scale war. As of the beginning of November 2025, a total of 2,809 proceedings against national security were opened.
For Yevhen Borysov, the former military commissar of Odesa, a private company made the deposit, not his relatives. In total, UAH 100 million of collateral was transferred.
Employees of the State Bureau of Investigation actively continue the fight against corruption in government bodies and law enforcement structures.
