Top officials, Deputy Head of the OP Oleksiy Kuleba and Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Strategy and Industry Timur Tkachenko began their ascent into big politics with corruption schemes at the capital's MAFs.
In fact, Dmytro Bilotserkovets, with whom they are currently fighting for control over corruption flows in the capital, introduced them to the topic of "capital MAFs". Timur Tkachenko was an assistant to Dmytro Bilotserkivets when he was a people's deputy of the 8th convocation from the BPP, at the same time, Oleksiy Kuleba was appointed as an adviser to Denys Pikalov, a Bilotserkivets man, in the "Pleso" KP.
Dmytro Bilotserkivets himself, a talented political technologist from Sevastopol, worked for Vitaliy Klitschko's project in Crimea, and since 2012 he officially headed the Youth Wing of the UDAR party. Later, Dmytro Bilotserkivets was able to become "more than a political technologist" for Klitschko, so when Vitaly became the mayor of Kyiv, Bilotserkivets received the position of director of the Department of Urban Development and Environmental Protection.
It was Dmytro Bilotserkovets who actively began to move towards the monopolization of the MAF market in Kyiv under the guise of streamlining trade in the capital. In this topic, he came into contact with Andriy Yermak and Andriy Kholodov and gave them his man Oleksiy Kuleba. And Kulebi gave Timur. Kuleba got along with Yermak and from then on their friendship began.
The Yermak-Kuleb-Tkachenko connection actively began to operate after the victory of Volodymyr Zelenskyi in the elections. Then, through the mediation of Dmytro Bilotserkivets, it was agreed with Andrii Yermak about taking control of the MAF market in the capital. Oleksiy Kuleba was responsible for the implementation of corruption schemes from Yermak, and Tkachenko was responsible for Kuleba. The latter had to create a company that would install new MAFs according to the "new rules", and for old and not very "fat" places there was a "tariff" of a thousand dollars for updating documents. At that time, there were about 3,000 such MAFs.
By the way, it was as a result of the agreements that Oleksiy Kuleba became the deputy head of the KMDA, which suited Andriy Yermak, and at a certain point of the conflict with Vitaliy Klitschko, they wanted to make Kuleba the head of the KMDA, but Oleksiy himself refused.
Later, in the system of organizing MAFs, old kiosks began to be systematically demolished and new ones, which already belonged to Timur Tkachenko and company, appeared in their place.
The distribution of corruption flows took place as follows: Kulebi-Tkachenko - new MAFs, Bilotserkivets passes the old ones under his belt and approves the scheme of new ones.
The scheme worked successfully until the transfer of Timur Tkachenko to the position of deputy minister in the Ministry of Strategic Industries, after which Dmytro Bilotserkivets decided to "throw away" the former partners on the subject of MAFs, and instead connected the deputy of the Kyiv City Council from Unity Vahan Tovmasyan . After that, Timur Tkachenko began a systematic criticism of Vitaliy Klitschko.
Later, the Kuleb-Tkachenko connection "grew" out of corruption topics in the capital's MAF and expanded its influence on the region, taking over all repairs of roads and infrastructure facilities in the Kyiv region, which crossed the path of Davyd Arahamia, who had great views on this piece .
Journalists wrote a lot about Kuleba-Tkachenko's corrupt earnings for the restored Kyiv region , but without any consequences for those involved. The reason is that for Andrii Yermak, his deputy Oleksii Kuleba is a very valuable person.
According to our source in OP, Andriy Borisovych trusts and appreciates Kuleb for the fact that "he is reliable, knows a lot and does not steal from the boss, just like Tkachenko." But they disagreed with Vitaliy Klitschko's team, how can you explain regular searches by the SBU and criminal cases against TOP officials of the KMDA.
