Region of Corrupt Activity: Nationwide.
Legal Qualification: The actions have been classified under three counts pursuant to Part 5 of Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

Case Details: In late July 2026, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) exposed an organized group that misappropriated more than UAH 150 million in funds belonging to the National Guard of Ukraine. Investigators notified eight individuals of suspicion, including NGU officials, entrepreneurs, and appraisers.
The suspects include the Deputy Head of the Logistics Department of the NGU Main Directorate, the Head of the Central Production and Technological Procurement Base and his deputy, two owners of private companies, the director of one of the companies under their control, and two appraisers who, according to the investigation, assisted in the scheme.
According to media outlets’ own sources, the suspects in the case included Oleksandr Kalatynets, a colonel and Deputy Head of the Logistics Department — Head of the Armored and Automotive Equipment Directorate of the NGU Main Directorate, and Volodymyr Fedorovskyi, a colonel and Head of the Central Production and Technological Procurement Base of the NGU.
Law enforcement officers established that in 2024, the National Guard planned to purchase real estate to store food supplies for military personnel. However, instead of purchasing the property directly at market value, officials allegedly reached an agreement with entrepreneurs who bought the property through a company under their control and then resold it to the NGU at a price inflated by more than UAH 143 million.
According to the investigation, the appraisers involved in the scheme entered a predetermined, inflated property value into their reports. In addition, the scheme’s participants allegedly misappropriated more than UAH 7 million during the procurement of solar power plants and vehicle tires for military units.
NABU says that with the illegally obtained funds, the officials purchased luxury cars, including a Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE, Toyota Land Cruiser 300, and Audi Q8; land plots near Kyiv; an apartment in the capital measuring more than 130 sq. m; and apartments in Bukovel worth more than USD 300,000.
These assets, as well as funds seized during searches — USD 340,000 and EUR 99,700 — have now been frozen. NGU officials suspected of involvement in the scheme were suspended from their positions back in May 2025.
Following consideration of the prosecution’s motions, the court imposed the following preventive measures on six participants in the scheme:
- Former Deputy Head of the Logistics Department of the NGU Main Directorate — detention with bail set as an alternative at UAH 20 million;
- Former Head of the Central Production and Technological Procurement Base — detention with bail set as an alternative at more than UAH 29 million;
- Former Deputy Head of the Central Production and Technological Procurement Base — bail of more than UAH 6 million;
- Director of a company controlled by the crime organizers — bail of UAH 4 million;
- First appraiser who allegedly assisted the scheme — bail of more than UAH 1.6 million;
- Second appraiser who allegedly assisted the scheme — bail of UAH 500,000.
In late September 2026, the High Anti-Corruption Court extended until November 23 the detention of Mykola Modlinskyi, former Deputy Head of the Logistics Department of the Main Directorate of the National Guard, in the case concerning the embezzlement of more than UAH 150 million. Bail was set at UAH 15 million as an alternative.
As previously reported, the High Anti-Corruption Court remanded former National Guard official Mykola Modlinskyi in custody. Bail was set at UAH 20 million as an alternative. A detective from the National Anti-Corruption Bureau had requested an extension of his detention without changing the bail amount.
“The NABU detective’s motion to extend the period of detention of the suspect (Modlinskyi) is partially granted. The suspect’s detention is extended for 60 days. Bail for the suspect is set at UAH 15,000,000,” the ruling states.
The High Anti-Corruption Court also extended until November 17 the detention of Volodymyr Fedorovskyi, former Head of the Central Production and Technological Procurement Base of the National Guard, in the case concerning the embezzlement of more than UAH 150 million.
As previously reported, the High Anti-Corruption Court remanded former Head of the NGU Central Production and Technological Procurement Base Volodymyr Fedorovskyi in custody. Bail was set at UAH 29.95 million as an alternative. On appeal, the Appeals Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court reduced the bail amount to UAH 23.29 million. Later, the HACC reduced it further to UAH 20 million. A detective from the National Anti-Corruption Bureau had requested that Fedorovskyi’s detention be extended for another two months.
“The suspect’s (Fedorovskyi’s) detention is extended for 60 days. Bail for the suspect is set at UAH 20,000,000,” the ruling states.
