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.
Status: In custody.
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 had embezzled more than UAH 150 million from the National Guard of Ukraine. Investigators notified eight individuals of suspicion, including National Guard officials, businesspeople, and appraisers.
Those suspected include the Deputy Director of the Logistics Department of the Main Directorate of the National Guard of Ukraine, the Head of the Central Production and Technological Procurement Base and his deputy, two owners of private companies, the director of one of the controlled companies, and two appraisers who, according to investigators, assisted in the scheme.
According to media outlets’ own sources, the individuals notified of suspicion in the case included Colonel Oleksandr Kalatynets, Deputy Director of the Logistics Department and Head of the Automotive and Armored Vehicles Directorate of the Main Directorate of the National Guard of Ukraine, and Colonel Volodymyr Fedorovskyi, Head of the National Guard’s Central Production and Technological Procurement Base.
Law enforcement officers established that in 2024, the National Guard planned to purchase real estate for storing food supplies for military personnel. However, instead of purchasing the property directly at market value, officials allegedly reached an agreement with businesspeople who bought the property through a company under their control and then resold it to the National Guard at a price inflated by more than UAH 143 million.
According to investigators, the appraisers involved in the scheme entered a predetermined, inflated value of the property into their reports. In addition, the scheme’s participants allegedly embezzled more than UAH 7 million during the procurement of solar power plants and vehicle tires for military units.
NABU states that, using the illegally obtained funds, the officials purchased luxury vehicles, 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.
The property, as well as funds seized during searches—USD 340,000 and EUR 99,700—have now been frozen. National Guard 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: the former Deputy Director of the Logistics Department of the Main Directorate of the National Guard of Ukraine was remanded in custody with an alternative bail option of UAH 20 million; the former Head of the Central Production and Technological Procurement Base was remanded in custody with an alternative bail option of more than UAH 29 million; the former Deputy Head of the Central Production and Technological Procurement Base was granted bail of more than UAH 6 million; the director of a company controlled by the organizers of the crime was granted bail of UAH 4 million; the first appraiser accused of aiding the scheme was granted bail of more than UAH 1.6 million; and the second appraiser accused of aiding the scheme was granted bail of UAH 500,000.
In late September 2026, the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) extended until November 23 the detention of Mykola Modlinskyi, the former Deputy Director of the Logistics Department of the Main Directorate of the National Guard, in the case involving the embezzlement of more than UAH 150 million. The court set alternative bail at UAH 15 million.
As previously reported, the High Anti-Corruption Court remanded former National Guard official Mykola Modlinskyi in custody. The court set alternative bail at UAH 20 million. A detective from the National Anti-Corruption Bureau had requested an extension of his detention and that the bail amount remain unchanged.
“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, the former Head of the National Guard’s Central Production and Technological Procurement Base, in the case involving the embezzlement of more than UAH 150 million.
As previously reported, the High Anti-Corruption Court remanded former Head of the National Guard’s Central Production and Technological Procurement Base Volodymyr Fedorovskyi in custody. The court set alternative bail at UAH 29.95 million. During the appeal against the preventive measure, the HACC Appeals Chamber reduced the bail to UAH 23.29 million. Later, the HACC reduced it to UAH 20 million. A detective from the National Anti-Corruption Bureau had requested that Fedorovskyi’s detention be extended by 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.
