On June 12, 2025, the Tiahynka Village Council (Beryslav District, the Kherson Region) announced a procurement for three basic mobile shelters, with an expected value of UAH 984,900. Under the terms of the tender, the modules were to be installed in three villages: Tavriiske, Matrosivka, and Lvivski Otruby.
Myradyma LLC, an Odesa-based company, was the sole bidder and automatic winner. It offered to complete the order for UAH 976,500, just UAH 8,400 below the expected cost.
In its bid, Myradyma submitted a complete package of documents, including: a statement on available resources, staff information, a similar contract (with invoice, bank statement, and feedback attached), a certificate of compliance with tender requirements, and a technical specification with a modular shelter diagram. The documents were uploaded to Prozorro on June 24, 2025.
Uncontested procurement of mobile shelters in the Kherson region has become more of a rule than an exception.
Who Is the Contractor?
Myradyma LLC was registered in Odesa in November 2018 and has an authorized capital of UAH 50,000. Its sole beneficiary, director, and founder is Oleksandr Voitenko, born in 1993.
According to the YouControl analytical system, the company holds a high reliability rating of “A.” It is a standard construction, architecture, and engineering enterprise, with typical business codes. As of July 2025, it employed 13 people, including the director and chief accountant.
Still, its history in public procurement raises eyebrows.
How It Began: A Questionable UAH 13 Million Start
The company was first mentioned in an article by the Anti-Corruption Dimension on June 29, 2023. Journalists drew attention to a large-scale procurement of mobile shelters for Odesa schools: 28 modules worth UAH 13.3 million. The contractor chosen was Myradyma LLC, a firm with no prior experience in public tenders and little evidence of active business activity.
The company provided only one relevant experience example in its paperwork: the delivery of a single module for the Youth 2.0 charitable foundation. Coincidentally, the head of this foundation, Illia Blokhin, was linked to Voitenko’s business partners. Later, it emerged that the foundation had launched the Safeplace4UA campaign to install modular shelters, with the first funded by an Odesa philanthropist. That act of charity became Myradyma’s launchpad into government procurement.
As the Anti-Corruption Dimension reported, Voitenko began registering new firms with nearly identical names and activity codes after its first tenders: Migunit Ukraina LLC and Migunit-Ukraina LLC. In the first, his partner was Dmytro Blokhin; in the second, Oleksandr Tereshchenko. These names are not accidental; both men had business and even institutional ties with the foundation that helped establish Myradyma’s “track record.”
Tereshchenko went further, registering another firm, Safeplace UA LLC, with identical business activities. Its name directly echoed the Safeplace4UA initiative. Such mass creation of clone companies is a classic way of manufacturing “competitors” to simulate fair bidding.
According to YouControl, Tereshchenko (or his full namesake) is the Chief State Financial Inspector at the Southern Office of the State Audit Service. If it is the same person, the conflict of interest is obvious.
Cases, Reports, and Suspicions
Myradyma LLC has been mentioned in several media reports in 2025, almost all linked to problems with deliveries or shelter quality:
- The Anti-Corruption Dimension reported that police are investigating possible embezzlement during the installation of shelters at a school in the Kairy, Odesa region. Myradyma supplied the modules.
- Vilne Radio reported that the Odesa Commercial Court fined the company UAH 247,000 for late delivery. The ruling was later overturned on appeal, as the delay had been adequately communicated to the client.
- Again, the Anti-Corruption Dimension noted that the Kyiv District Court of Odesa authorized inspection and destructive testing of shelters installed at a lyceum in Rozdilne District. Investigators suspect the modules were produced in makeshift conditions, in violation of national standards, and did not match the contract specifications. Tender documents listed Miradyma as the manufacturer.
The Unified State Register of Court Decisions contains yet another case, this time criminal, in which Myradyma appears as a defendant. Investigators are probing possible misappropriation of budget funds during wartime procurement of modular shelters. According to law enforcement, officials of a municipal institution in Odesa colluded with Relians Plus Construction Company LLC representatives to comply with the law.
Although Relians Plus appeared as the formal contractor, investigators obtained evidence that Miradyma was, in fact, the manufacturer, formally acting as a subcontractor. Case files suggest that the parties signed inflated contracts with overstated costs and specifications. In reality, the concrete was of lower grade than indicated, and the structures were manufactured in unsuitable conditions.
The court authorized an inspection of shelters installed at a school in Rosiyanivka as part of a construction-technical examination to assess quality and collect evidence. The investigation is ongoing.
Myradyma in Kherson: Few Bids, Many Contracts
Myradyma LLC has been actively winning tenders since 2023. According to Prozorro, it has signed contracts worth over UAH 70,309,092, including UAH 23,361,100 in 2025. In the Kherson region, it has secured 8 contracts totaling UAH 10,064,500, of which 6 worth UAH 8,734,500 were won in 2025.
Almost all procurements in the Kherson region have been uncontested, with minimal or zero price reductions.
Contracts awarded to Myradyma LLC in the Kherson region include:
UA-2025-06-19-011468-a, UA-2025-06-12-012324-a, UA-2025-05-29-000834-a,
UA-2025-06-02-013383-a, UA-2025-05-21-007562-a, UA-2025-06-02-013342-a,
UA-2024-11-14-015590-a, UA-2023-11-13-002017-a
Conclusion
Awarding a contract for three mobile shelters without competition, to a company implicated in criminal cases and with a questionable reputation, carries not only the risk of wasting public funds but also a direct threat to human life and safety.
The Tiahynka community lies in a frontline zone and suffers regular shelling. In such conditions, shelters must not be a bureaucratic formality in reports—they must be a reliable means of protection for residents. If the supplier has a history of producing modules in makeshift facilities, from substandard concrete, and in violation of safety standards, this is not only about corruption—it is about potential loss of life.
Myradyma LLC was the sole bidder and winner in this procurement. At the same time, the company has repeatedly been mentioned in investigative reports for poor-quality or delayed deliveries, participation in schemes with affiliated firms, and involvement in criminal proceedings. In the Kherson region, it consistently secures contracts without competition—usually with no price reduction at all.
Such practices are unacceptable during wartime. Procurement for frontline communities must not only comply with the law but also be maximally transparent, fair, and accountable—because what is at stake is human life.
