Recently, Mykolaiv's housing and maintenance department announced a tender for the purchase of 2,000 cubic meters of hardwood firewood for defense facilities, with delivery by April 11, 2025. Meanwhile, a contract worth more than UAH 86 million for the construction of a warning system for Mykolaiv region may go to a company with a dubious reputation.

The region is also actively implementing large-scale infrastructure projects to restore water supply and strengthen defense capabilities. However, a significant part of the contracts is distributed without open tenders, and among the contractors are companies that have previously been involved in criminal cases related to embezzlement of budget funds.
