Ukraine’s Anti-Corruption Agency Exposes Large-Scale Procurement and Property Abuse, the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) has uncovered new cases of misconduct among Ukrainian government officials — including overpriced contracts and unlawful transfers of state assets to private firms.
Overpriced Fortification Construction Deals
Officials of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration are suspected of purchasing construction materials at inflated prices, causing losses exceeding ₴15 million.
According to NACP, the tenders were coordinated with affiliated business entities. The case has been referred to the National Police, with criminal proceedings launched under Article 191 of the Criminal Code (embezzlement).
Illegal Transfer of State Property
Employees of the State Agency for Land Reclamation, Fisheries, and Food Programs allegedly transferred public assets to private companies without mandatory valuation and at below-market prices, resulting in ₴1.8 million in damages.
A criminal case was opened under Articles 191 and 364 of the Criminal Code.
Administrative Misconduct and Conflicts of Interest
In the first half of 2025, NACP filed seven administrative protocols, mostly related to conflicts of interest and ethics violations.
One case involves a former head of the Vasylkiv District Court, who failed to declare a personal conflict of interest after part of his apartment worth ₴3.6 million was seized by court order.
Disciplinary Actions and Warnings
During the same period, NACP issued 35 rulings on ethics and conduct violations. Officials from the State Geocadastre and Fisheries Agency faced disciplinary action for misconduct and unlawful agreements.
Strengthening Anti-Corruption Oversight
NACP continues to enhance Ukraine’s transparency framework and enforce ethical standards in public service, publishing regular reports on investigations and preventive measures.
