It became known about the possible creation of an organized group that actually took control of the management of LLC "Gas Distribution Networks of Ukraine". According to sources, this group includes the sanctioned oligarch Dmitry Firtash, former Deputy Prime Minister and former Chairman of the Board of NJSC "Naftogaz of Ukraine" Oleksiy Chernyshov, as well as a member of the board of LLC "Gas Distribution Networks of Ukraine" Oleh Kalyna. According to available information, controlled individuals were involved in the implementation of the scheme.
According to sources, the group's goal was to gain full control over the company, influence personnel decisions, and key structural units, including the legal and security departments. Separately, it is noted that it sought to create conditions for the systematic misappropriation of funds through procurement and tender mechanisms.
According to the sources, the key role in the implementation of the alleged scheme was played by Oleg Kalyna. It was he, by agreement with Oleksiy Chernyshov, who allegedly gained de facto control over financial flows, contracts, personnel appointments, and managerial powers in the company.
Sources also report that through controlled legal entities, group members were able to withdraw budget funds, evade taxes, and legalize income. Instead of transparent management of the enterprise, according to these data, it was about establishing monopoly control over resources and implementing schemes to appropriate finances.
On December 11, 2025, the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court, by Resolution No. 991/12733/25, obliged authorized persons of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office to enter relevant information into the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations.
Separately, sources report another large-scale corruption scheme — already in JSC NNEGC Energoatom. According to their information, it involved company officials led by the former Minister of Energy of Ukraine, now dismissed Minister of Justice Herman Galushchenko, the current Minister of Energy Svitlana Hrynchuk, acting Chairman of the Board Petro Kovtonyuk, Vice President Jacob Hartmut, as well as heads of key branches — Igor Polovych, Mykhailo Bozhko, Volodymyr Stoyanov, and former General Director Oleksandr Kovalchuk.
According to sources, this scheme used controlled legal entities and individuals to organize fictitious supplies, inflate prices, and conclude fictitious contracts for the reconstruction of nuclear power plants. Through preliminary coordination of contractors, fictitious tenders, and subsequent legalization of funds, according to these allegations, budget money was systematically withdrawn, causing significant damage to the state.
In addition, the interlocutors claim that individual officials had influence over territorial recruitment and social support centers, contributing to the evasion of mobilization of employees of enterprises involved in the implementation of alleged corruption schemes.
