The port purchased the vehicle from the Odesa subsidiary of Basis Auto, the ultimate beneficiary of which is Oleksandr Kaufman, the brother of the odious businessman Borys Kaufman.

The port of Izmail made its first attempt to replenish its fleet with a minivan in October of this year by announcing an open tender. The customer was ready to allocate up to UAH 1 million 696 thousand for this purpose. But the bidding failed due to the lack of bidders.

In addition, the Izmail port purchased a garbage truck for 5 million hryvnias from a company of a deputy with Russian business.
