They added that the information published by the Kyiv City State Administration was untrue. They also noted that they had not seized documents necessary for the commencement of work under the Kyiv City Resilience Plan.
The investigative actions were carried out on the basis of court warrants exclusively at the homes of two employees of the municipal enterprise "Kyivteploenergo" and employees of contractor organizations as part of an investigation into the possible embezzlement and misappropriation of budget funds by inflating the cost of materials during construction work. The case concerns agreements concluded in 2024, as well as contracts concluded in March 2026. For some of the works, the relevant acts have been signed and already paid for.
