The SBU Military Counterintelligence Service is investigating a criminal case related to the supply of non-compliant military clothing for the National Guard of Ukraine. According to the investigation, representatives of one of the capital's enterprises attempted to bypass quality control and certify an incomplete batch of goods as a fully executed contract.
The incident occurred during the execution of a contract for the supply of 10,000 combat shirts. According to the prosecutor's office, after the customer received an incomplete and partially defective batch, the supplier's representatives offered an NGU officer $3,000 to replace the non-conforming samples with quality ones. Later, they handed over another $1,000 to certify the delivery as fully executed.
The serviceman reported the offer to his superiors, after which the SBU became involved in the case.
The contract between the capital-based enterprise and the National Guard was signed in August 2026 for an amount of nearly 8.7 million hryvnia. However, on 2 November, the customer received goods, a significant portion of which did not meet technical requirements.
During searches, law enforcement officers seized over 3.5 million hryvnia in cash, documentation, seals, and electronic devices. Suspicion fell on the former founder of the company and its representative. One of the suspects has already posted bail in the amount of 1.9 million hryvnia.
Particular attention is drawn to state procurement UA-2026-07-09-007856-a, announced on 9 July 2026. Its subject was also 10,000 combat shirts with an estimated value of 10.54 million hryvnia, and a delivery deadline of 1 November 2026. Although the quantity of goods and deadlines coincide with the data from the criminal case, the amount differs, so there is currently no documentary evidence linking this procurement to the SBU case.
Other companies with confirmed contracts operate in the military clothing market. In particular, ANVA LLC received an order for 7,000 combat shirts worth 6.59 million hryvnia. Dnipropetrovsk Sewing Factory LLC signed an agreement with the Defence Procurement Agency to supply combat shirts worth 47.57 million hryvnia. Also, in October 2026, VVM YAVIR LLC had a contract with a National Guard military unit, although the subject of this contract is still being clarified.
Currently, there is no confirmed data on the involvement of any of these enterprises in the criminal proceedings. Law enforcement officers have not yet disclosed the name of the company whose representatives are suspected of bribery, nor have they determined whether this supplier is linked to the procurement worth 10.54 million hryvnia.
