The Kalmius Construction Company, which appeared just a month before the tenders, received three large state contracts from the Zaporizhzhya Regional Military Administration for a total amount of almost UAH 660 million. According to journalists of the International Detective Agency ABSultation, the company may be associated with the People's Deputy Sergiy Mink.
The firm was registered on March 7, 2025 in the village of Petropavlovskaya Borschagivka near Kiev with a symbolic authorized capital of 5 thousand hryvnias. At the time of concluding the first contract in Kalmius, there was only one employee - director and owner Danilo Sandirev, former specialist in the installation of saunas and fireplaces. There was no experience in participating in large -scale construction projects.
However, Sandirev had other connections. In 2021 he worked on the SPA complex in Primorsk, on the basis of the Recreation "Priboy", connected with the People's Deputy Gennady Kasha. Then, according to journalists, he made contacts with the team of Ivan Fedorov - at that time the mayor of Melitopol, and now - the heads of Zaporizhzhya Ova.
Fedorov is a political ally Sergei Minka - his predecessor as mayor of Melitopol and the current people's deputy from the deputy group "Trust". After moving to Kyiv in 2022, the influence of Minsk in Melitopol did not decrease. It was during this period that, according to investigators, the Minaca family rented the estate in the suburbs of Kiev, where she again used Sandirev's services.
All three tenders "Kalmius" won without competition. The only confirmation of the experience was a subcontract with the Positive LLC for UAH 23 million, dated by the moment when the firm existed only three days. At that time, she had neither financial statements nor personnel potential. Despite this, the Zaporizhzhia Ova did not see the violations.
Positive LLC, in turn, owns Maxim Gaidai - the former head of the window of windows in Zaporozhye. In open registers, the company was previously linked to the deputy of the City Council from the EU Mykola Bely. In April 2025, the Antimonopoly Committee forbade the Positive to participate in the state committees for three years for violation of competition.
While the State Audit Service is monitoring these tenders, MP Sergei Minko demonstrates an updated fleet: he arrives at a new BMW X7 in 2022 at a meeting of parliament, which in the spring of 2024 costs at least $ 90,000. The car's deputy declaration is not stated.
This story is another evidence of non -transparency in the field of public procurement, where newly created firms with dubious background in a matter of days receive hundreds of millions of budget funds - all of which are against the background of political relations and the tacit consent of the authorities.
