Deputy head of Kamianske becomes a millionaire

Activists in Kamianske drew attention to the prices of drones for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which are significantly higher than in the rest of the country. An investigation revealed that drone procurement, like other state contracts, is directly linked to Deputy Mayor Svitlana Kolysnichenko. 

She controlled the tenders, and the winner was an entrepreneur close to her who had no experience in this field but quickly became successful.

As the scale of the illegal activities became clear, it emerged that the Kolysnichenko family's income had increased through shadow business schemes. Vitaliy Kolysnichenko, Svitlana's husband, was engaged in renting out retail spaces that were not declared in his asset declaration. His entrepreneurial activity allowed him to purchase several expensive real estate properties and vehicles, including luxury cars and real estate bought without loans.

In 2024, when Kolysnichenko became actively involved in procuring equipment for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, her income became even more suspicious. The declaration also did not mention real estate purchases abroad and new luxury cars. These actions were accompanied by manipulation of medical certificates to avoid military service.

We will submit the information to the High Anti-Corruption Court and the National Anti-Corruption Bureau for verification, and in our next investigation, we will reveal details about how Kolysnichenko came to her position and her subsequent actions related to eavesdropping in the mayor's office.
