Position: Director of the Finance Department of the Kyiv City State Administration.
Sphere of corrupt activity: finance.
Region of corruption activity : Kyiv city.
Qualification: the actions are qualified under Part 2 of Article 367 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (official negligence).
Status: the issue of choosing a preventive measure is being decided.
Case story: On January 23, 2026, law enforcement officers reported suspicions to the director of one of the departments of the Kyiv City State Administration, who is believed to be involved in unjustified expenditures of the capital's budget of over UAH 581 million.
This was reported by the National Police of Ukraine.
Law enforcement officers uncovered the fact of official negligence during the pre-trial investigation. Investigators established that in 2020–2023, the official initiated internal borrowing by issuing local loan bonds for a total amount of over UAH 2.5 billion. The funds raised were intended to be used to finance the capital's development budget.
At the same time, during this period, Kyiv's budget was in surplus: the city's revenues exceeded expenditures, and there was no need for additional financial resources. According to the investigation, the refusal to borrow would not have affected the implementation of any of the city's development programs.
Despite this, the city paid interest on the bonds for several years, which led to inappropriate spending of budget funds.
Expert research showed that the official's actions caused losses to the territorial community of Kyiv in the amount of more than 581 million UAH.
Based on the evidence collected, investigators reported suspicion of official negligence to the director of the Kyiv City State Administration department.
Law enforcement officers are currently identifying other individuals who may have been involved in making these decisions in order to bring them to justice.
Before that, the Kyiv City State Administration reported that investigative actions were ongoing in the Finance Department, headed by Volodymyr Repik.
Searches have been ongoing since the very morning – first at the residence of the Director of the Department, then in his offices. Based on the results of the investigative actions, relevant procedural documents have been drawn up. All requested materials and documents have been provided to the investigation in full.
The Kyiv City State Administration stated that the criminal proceedings are groundless and "show signs of political motivation."
Persons potentially involved in corruption schemes: open sources do not provide information about the official's possible accomplices.
Assets: in the declaration for 2024, Repik indicated that he owns 4 land plots (two of them in joint ownership with relatives), three residential buildings (two of them also in joint ownership with relatives).
Repik did not declare his own vehicles, but his wife indicated that she owns a Hyundai Tucson car (worth 858,000 UAH) and a trailer.
Repik's income for the same year was UAH 1,193,055, and his wife's was UAH 633,584.
The official declared 192,000 UAH, 70,000 USD, and 72,800 EUR in cash; in his bank accounts – 15,278 UAH, 6,303 USD, and 2,000 EUR. At the same time, his wife declared 47,000 UAH and 12,000 EUR in cash, and in her bank accounts – 37,583 UAH, 10,000 USD, and 1,300 EUR.
Persons who should have reacted: law enforcement agencies responded to Repik's criminal activities in a timely manner, charging him with suspicion.
Scandals: according to media reports, in the summer of 2023, journalists from the capital's Kyiv Vlad newspaper drew attention to Volodymyr Repik's involvement in the embezzlement of 40 million hryvnias allocated for the renovation of the assembly hall for Kyiv veterans.
We remind you that over 40 million hryvnias were allocated for the overhaul of the assembly hall of the Kyiv Pension for Labor Veterans with the participation of Export LLC (EDRPOU code: 42464713), affiliated with Volodymyr Repik.
Exporta LLC belongs to Andriy Repik, whose companies previously received expensive contracts for the restoration of the Kyiv operetta and the overhaul of the Mariinsky Park, which eventually resulted in criminal proceedings on suspicion of "embezzlement" of budget funds.
At one time, Andriy Repik ran for Kyiv City Council, but was unsuccessful. However, for at least the last ten years, he has likely had support and backing in the Kyiv City State Administration through family ties with the current director of the Finance Department of the capital's administration, Volodymyr Repik.
As KV learned from the ProZorro system announcement data, on July 5, 2023, the Kyiv Pension for Labor Veterans concluded a contract with Export LLC for the overhaul of the assembly hall of its building D at 2 Kubanska Ukraina Street in the Desnyanskyi district of Kyiv. The contract price was 40.65 million hryvnias.
The contract provided for the contractor to perform dismantling and general construction work, install sewage systems, water supply, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, fire alarm, lightning protection and grounding, install equipment, and improve the surrounding area by December 20, 2024.
The contract went to Export LLC without competition, as there were no more interested parties in the tender. And since the procurement was conducted through “open tenders with features”, a contract was concluded with this contractor. We remind you that if only one proposal is submitted for participation in such a procurement, this procurement immediately moves to the stage of consideration of this proposal, and is not canceled, as in open tenders.
According to the Youcontrol analytical system, LLC "Exporta" was registered in 2018 in Kyiv. The authorized capital is 300 thousand hryvnias. The main type of activity is the organization of building construction. The founder is LLC "Arsys Group", the ultimate beneficial owner is Andriy Repik. The manager is listed as Valentyn Gonchar.
According to Clarity Project, as a result of participating in public procurement, Exporta LLC received 6 orders worth almost 145 million hryvnias. All of the company's contracts were from the capital's municipal enterprises, as well as from the departments of the district state administrations (RDA) of Kyiv.
At the same time, Andriy Repik actively received capital contracts through his other companies. In particular, in 2016-2019 he owned LLC "BK "Novitni Tehnologii", from which during this period the Kyiv National Academic Operetta Theater ordered the restoration and reconstruction of its extension for a total amount of over 40 million hryvnias (in 2015 - for 4.8 million hryvnias, in 2016 - 19.65 million hryvnias, in 2017 - for 10.25 million hryvnias and 6.01 million hryvnias). In addition, in 2016 the company received an order from the Kyivzelenbud Construction Company for a major overhaul of the Mariinsky Park for 1.2 million hryvnias, which later became one of the subjects of a criminal investigation by the National Police on suspicion of embezzlement of budget funds.
In 2020-2021, Andriy Repik was the founder of Operatyv Bud LLC, which in 2019 received a contract from the Department of Education of the Darnytsia Regional State Administration for the reconstruction and addition of kindergarten No. 345 for over fifty million hryvnias.
Another high-profile scandal with a clear corruption flavor took place in 2024 - due to Volodymyr Repik's involvement in the embezzlement of 215 million hryvnias for the renovation of the Bykivnyanska school, which was awarded to the same Exporta LLC without a competition.
