According to data from the Prozorro system, on December 7, 2024, the Department of Regional Development of the Kyiv Regional State Administration announced a tender for the reconstruction of an apartment building at 429 Tsentralna Street in Borodyanka, Bucha district, Kyiv region.
It is a multi-storey building destroyed during the Russian armed aggression against Ukraine.
The amount to be allocated for its reconstruction is UAH 376,148,379.20.
Two companies took part in the tender, and the winner was the CONSORTIUM “VENUS”.
After a detailed inspection of the winning company, the customer refused to recognize its victory and preferred the company that took second place at the auction – BILD LIFE INVESTMENT AND CONSTRUCTION COMPANY LLC.
After that, the CONSORTIUM “RESTORATION” appealed the results of the tender to the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine and thus blocked the restoration of the high-rise building.
What’s wrong with the Consortium
UNN decided to find out why the CRSA refused to recognize the consortium’s victory. According to the youcontrol system, the RESTORATION CONSORTIUM was founded only on December 13, 2024, almost a week after the announcement of the relevant tender. The authorized capital of the company is UAH 1 million.
Obviously, the company was created exclusively for the already announced tender and its purpose was to “develop” state millions.
One of the founders of the consortium is Roman Mykolayovych Ivanenko. The head of the consortium is Oleksandr Mykhailovych Bohatyrenko, who, according to the same system, is involved in a number of other companies registered at the address of the consortium.
In particular, the company STANDARD DEVELOPMENT LLC is registered at the same address as the consortium, in which Bohatyrenko and Ivanenko each have a 24% stake as of January 2025. Another founder of this LLC is the Cyprus offshore company Yu. Enterprises Limited. The company owns a share of 18%.
It is worth noting that STANDARD DEVELOPMENT LLC was involved in several criminal proceedingsopened under Art. 205 (Fictitious entrepreneurship), Art. 209 (Legalization (laundering) of proceeds of crime) and Art. 222-1 of the Criminal Code (Manipulation of the stock market. Also, a case was opened against her under Art. 191 of the CCU ( Misappropriation, embezzlement or seizure of property through abuse of office).
Therefore, it is possible that during the inspection of the CONSORTIUM “RESTORATION” as the winner of the state tender, its connection with “STANDARD DEVELOPMENT” LLC and Cypriot offshore companies became apparent, and therefore the victory of the dubious company was canceled. We can only hope that an honest company will win the upcoming tender for the reconstruction of the Borodyanka apartment building, which will restore housing for people who have suffered from Russia’s armed aggression, and not try to profit from people’s grief.
