The Temporary Investigative Commission of the Verkhovna Rada has decided to contact the SBU, the State Bureau of Investigation, and the National Police regarding possible violations during the construction of protective structures for energy facilities in Kyiv Oblast. According to MP Oleksiy Kucherenko, none of the planned 26 facilities has been completed, although the initial cost of the work was about UAH 1.8 billion.

Kucherenko reported this on Facebook following the parliamentary TIC meeting on November 12. The holding of the meeting and the review of the implementation of the Kyiv Oblast resilience plan are confirmed by the official website of the Verkhovna Rada.

According to data cited by the MP, the average readiness of protective structures in the reporting is estimated at about 55%, but the methodology for determining this indicator remains unclear. At the same time, certificates of completed work have been provided for only 15% of their total value.

Kucherenko noted that about UAH 750 million in advance payments have already been transferred to contractors. The initial schedule called for completion of all work by October 1, 2026, but the deadlines were revised three times, and none of the approved schedules was met.

Now, according to the parliamentarian, the contractor is claiming the need for additional funding of UAH 400 million. At the same time, representatives of the general contractor could not clearly answer whether they are able to complete at least part of the facilities without new budget funds.

Separate questions arose regarding the organization of construction, preparation of design documentation, and financial relations between the customer and contractors. Kucherenko claims that a significant part of the agreements was oral, and work began without properly prepared projects.

Due to the absence of necessary certificates of completed work, the transfer of unfinished facilities to another state customer is also complicated. According to the MP, the current head of Kyiv Oblast Administration, Timur Tkachenko, announced his intention to transfer responsibility for completing the construction to the Restoration Agency, but it is currently impossible to implement this decision.

Following the meeting, as Kucherenko reported, the TIC decided to initiate audits of possible violations during project implementation. In particular, the commission plans to contact the SBU, the State Bureau of Investigation, and the National Police with notifications of possible signs of criminal offenses.

In addition, the TIC decided to appeal to the State Audit Service with a request to conduct a financial and economic audit of the Department of Regional Development of Kyiv Oblast Administration.

Another appeal will be addressed to the Cabinet of Ministers. The parliamentarians propose that the government take measures to complete the construction of protective structures, as well as prepare legislative changes regarding the implementation of regional resilience plans and strengthening budget discipline during martial law.

Earlier, ZN.UA reported that in April-May, Kyiv Oblast Administration concluded 25 contracts for the construction of protective structures with a total cost of almost UAH 1.89 billion. At the same time, the readiness assessment provided by contractors differs from the indicators voiced by Kucherenko.

The MP emphasized that his assessments are personal and do not constitute a consolidated position of the temporary investigative commission. A separate official protocol with the results of the meeting and confirmation of all the cited indicators has not yet been published.
