According to a report by journalists, the Borodyanka airfield, which belongs to the Badrudinov family, has been using the land for a long time without paying the appropriate taxes. This land, allocated for parachuting, was transferred by the Borodyan settlement council under existing legislation, but apparently without appropriate payment.
This can lead to significant losses for the local budget, which may not receive approximately 4 million hryvnias annually due to undertaxation. Attempts to find out the legality of the use of the airfield by the Badrudinovs lead to a scandal.
Located 40 kilometers from Kyiv, the airfield "Borodyanka" is used for parachute sports events. However, there are suspicions that the plot of land intended for this activity was transferred illegally. The information received by the journalists indicates that in 1993 JSC "AS" received the right to permanent use of this plot of land. However, in 2021, the law may have been violated when this plot was transferred into private ownership by another company - PJSC "AS".
According to the information, Open Joint-Stock Company "AS" Regional Aviation Center and JSC "AS" (renamed to PJSC) have joint beneficiaries, among whom the Badrudinov family stands out: Oleksandr, Victoria and Raisa Badrudinov. In addition, the ultimate beneficiary is Hanna Levin, who is also behind the creation of the Chernihiv Higher Aviation School, the Titan concern and the Levin Group company. Stanislav Zdebskyi is the signatory of the Regional Aviation and Sports Center of PrJSC "AS". It should also be noted that Volodymyr Tsybulko, who is also the ultimate beneficiary of PrJSC "AS", was an adviser to Viktor Yushchenko and a people's deputy in the past. The mentioned person owns a joint business with Oleksandr Badrudinov in the spheres of the Zhytomyr airfield and waste disposal. 
According to the publication "Pulse", the state probably loses up to 4 million hryvnias annually due to illegal ownership of a plot of land.
According to open sources, the owner of PJSC "AS" did not purchase or lease the airfield "Borodyanka", but in fact appropriated it from PrJSC "AS" without appropriate legal grounds. During the entire period of use of the airfield, PrJSC "AS" did not pay land tax, which led to losses of the local budget of Borodyanka in the amount of approximately 4 million hryvnias annually. It is difficult to establish the exact amount of state damages due to the long duration of use of the land plot by PrJSC "AS", as well as the fact that the regulatory monetary assessment changes annually.
The history of the airfield in Borodyanka began in 1936, when it was built as a reserve for strategic aviation. In 1993, in the context of the development of general aviation in Ukraine, JSC "AS" (now - PJSC) received the right to permanent use of the airfield land. This plot was transferred to the Regional Aviation and Sports Center "AS" by the decision of the Borodyan District Council at the 15th session of the 21st convocation on December 21, 1993. After that, the Borodyanka airfield was included in the State Register of Civil Airfields of Ukraine as a class "D" airfield.
However, in 2013, changes in land legislation led to the abolition of the form of the act of permanent land use. This required PrJSC "AS" to purchase a plot of land or enter into a lease agreement. However, the company did not take any measures in this direction, and continued to use the land illegally.
In 2017, the Directorate of the State Land Agency in Borodyansky district excluded the airfield land plot from cadastral records and transferred it to the electronic archive. This confirmed the loss of the right of PrJSC "AS" to permanent use of the land. Despite this, the company continued to use the site for commercial purposes, which led to legal disputes, in which the court found the actions of the state registrar legal.
However, in 2019, the Borodyan Town Council of the VII convocation passed a decision to grant permission for the development of technical documentation for the inventory of the land plot of PrJSC "AS" for the purpose of construction and operation of buildings and facilities for air transport. However, this decision was not published on the council's website, which may indicate its possible use to register a land plot in favor of another person in October 2021, including Oleksandr Badrudinov. 
The suspicious construction of the Badrudinov family covers not only the illegally appropriated Borodyanka airfield, but also their activities in the field of waste disposal, which also raises doubts about legality.
In addition to PJSC "AS", which had problems with land rights, LLC "Utilservice", registered in 2004, also belongs to the same owners. In 2023, the commercial court of the Kyiv region considered the case against LLC "Utilservice" under the number 911/3872/23. The lawsuit claimed that the company used the land plot without proper documents. The prosecutor's office asked about stopping the operation of the enterprise until the violations are eliminated. This plot belongs to the Borodyanka settlement council and is in permanent use by the KP "Blagoustrii-Borodyanka".
The court found that in 2004, the Borodyan District State Administration (RDA) and the Limited Liability Company "Utilservice" entered into a temporary lease agreement for a land plot with an area of 13 hectares, although the landfill occupied only 11.5 hectares. Although the term of the agreement has expired, a permanent contract has not been concluded. The court ordered LLC "Utilservice" to pay 1,226,912 hryvnias in compensation for the damages.
Leasing of land plots owned by LLC "Utilservice" and PJSC "AS" 40 kilometers from the capital could bring significant income to the local budget of Borodyanka. However, these funds are not coming due to the lack of valid agreements, and the community leadership has not yet taken any steps to solve this problem.
Will the activities of these enterprises be officially legalized, or will the state continue to lose tax revenues, which are important for the budget, especially in times of conflict? There was also an appeal for comments to Oleksandr Badrudinov and a request was sent to the Borodyansk settlement council and PJSC "AS" (Regional Aviation Center).
Oleksandr Badrudinov explained that PJSC "AS" has been operating since 1993 and is registered in the register of civil airfields of Ukraine. He stated that all taxes were paid. Regarding the "Utilservice" solid waste landfill, he indicated that the lease agreement expired in 2021, and the land plot was transferred to the "Blagoustrii-Borodyanka" KP. However, the enterprise did not receive the necessary permit to carry out activities with waste.
Badrudinov did not answer the question about the fine, noting that it was the first time he heard about the court decision.
