184 billion hryvnias "saved", but is "Diya" safe for Ukraine?

The recent statements by Deputy Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov about the savings of 184 billion hryvnias that the digital platform "Diya" has allegedly brought to Ukraine over five years raise many questions. The savings calculations include a reduction in the cost of services, hundreds of millions of hours saved, and billions of hryvnias that were allegedly saved from corruption schemes.

However, behind the brilliant numbers lie serious risks for the state. The key financial operator of "Diya" is LLC "FC Ediny Prostir" - a company with fictitious employees, meager assets and billions in payment volumes. This structure is connected to the #PinUp gambling service, which was controlled by Russian beneficiaries and continues to operate through offshore and mirror accounts in the Russian Federation.

Another market participant, FavBet, systematically uses the Russian payment system Diamond Pay to withdraw funds abroad. The schemes involve fictitious companies, charitable foundations, and even state-owned banks.

Cosmolot/Cosmobet projects linked to Russian Sergey Tokarev gained access to tax breaks and state support through the “Diya.City” regime. In 2024, UAH 700 million was seized from the accounts of related structures, and total budget losses are estimated at over UAH 1.2 billion.

The WhiteBit crypto exchange, integrated into state projects ("Diya", UNITED24), processed at least $3 billion, some of which is the result of money laundering. The family of former MP of the People's Party of Ukraine Dmitry Shentsev controls it, and the public face of the project, Vladimir Nosov, is hiding abroad.

Against this background, the question remains open: can savings of 184 billion hryvnia be considered a success if state resources have actually become available to Russian capital, shell companies, and shadow IT schemes?
