Ukraine failed to accumulate enough coal for the winter. Moreover, he is also illegally exported abroad.
The last warm days reach the end, the cold is already on the doorstep. So it is time to see how the authorities, namely the Minister of Energy, Herman Galushchenko and his deputy Alexander Haylo, prepared his father -in -law energy for the complex realities of the second war winter. And the cases here are disappointing - experts predict that the coal deficiency for the winter will be at least 1.5 million tons .
Where did this deficit come from? First, due to the constant fall in coal production from state mines.
And secondly, because Galushchenko, coal was sold abroad, and even at low prices. In addition to the schemes that the investigative journalist Yuri Nikolov has repeatedly written , I became aware of another.
Thus, the source at the State Bureau of Investigation reported that this agency is now investigating schemes for the sale of coal from state mines abroad. In particular, the DBR began an investigation into the commission of the crime by officials of the Ministry of Energy, State Enterprise "Ukrvugillya", the state -owned enterprise "Lvivvugillya" and its separate unit "coal". Which, contrary to the ban on coal exports (Ministry of Energy Order of 10.05.2022 "On Some Issues of Export"), secretly exported it abroad. But they were still sold at low prices.
As found out in the DBR, Ukrvugillya was purchased in May 2022 from Lvivvugillya and coal 3147 tons of coal in the amount of almost UAH 13.5 million. Further, this coal was sold through the Czech company CTC International S. r . o . to Poland for… 11.3 million UAH (367.2 thousand euros).
That is, the difference between the cost of coal, which was purchased from Lvivvugillya and Coal and Coal and Export profit is minus UAH 2,087 million.
In the contracts of Ukrvugillya and CTC International S. r . o . The price of selling one ton of coal was from 3221 to 4164 UAH. Despite the fact that at the same time at the Prozorro and other open areas the price of selling similar coal brands to Ukrainian private firms was at least twice as expensive.
“What is the sales for which the purchase is more expensive than implementation? This is nothing more than old tricks from coal schemes, ”commented this data in unofficial conversation.
He added that at the same time, Lvivvugillya "forgot" to prescribe tax invoices for value added (VAT). And as a result of the State Enterprise "Ukrvugillya" did not receive his compensation.
The most interesting thing, according to him, is that this winter is at the peak of difficulties in domestic energy, officials plan to import to Ukraine ... This is coal from Poland. In order to cover the deficiency in warehouses and more or less pass the heating period.
And this is only one fact of frauds of domestic "coal kings". At the same time, it is necessary to try very, to believe that the Minister of Energy Galushchenko knows nothing about the continuation of the functioning of schemes with state coal. After all, his deputy Alexander Hel came to the department from the post of director of State Enterprise "Ukrvugillya".
My interlocutor with the DBR was unable to answer the question of whether this time, Galushchenko and his deputy Hile would come out of water this time. This question, he said, remains open, because the investigation is ongoing.
And if these accusations are justified, then Galushchenko and Heylo should be answered under the law.
