A military unit of the National Guard in Odesa conducted a simplified procurement for the purchase of three vehicles for a total of UAH 6 million 21 thousand.

This is reported in the Prozorro electronic procurement system.

It was decided to purchase three Mitsubishi L200 2.4 MT Intense 4WD vehicles. The only bidder and winner was a limited liability company. According to the YouControl service, the LLC was registered in 2016 in Odesa. The ultimate beneficiary is Oleksandr Kaufman.

According to the publication "Anti-Corruption Dimension," Oleksandr Kaufman is the brother of businessman Borys Kaufman, who, together with former MP Oleksandr Hranovskyi, is accused of creating a criminal organization to control the economic life of Odesa. In addition, Oleksandr Kaufman was an aide to Hranovskyi when he was an MP.

Simplified procurement is the purchase by the customer of goods, works and services whose value is equal to or exceeds UAH 200 thousand, and works - UAH 1.5 million, or in some cases - equal to or exceeds UAH 1 million, and works - UAH 5 million.

Oleksandr Kaufman is also the ultimate beneficiary of Basis Auto LLC, which in November 2024 sold a minivan made by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai Staria to the state-owned enterprise Izmail Sea Commercial Port for UAH 2 million 34 thousand. At the time, the procurement was conducted without the use of an electronic system.

In October of the same year, the Odesa Sea Commercial Port selected a subsidiary of Basis Auto as the supplier of two minibuses. The procurement was conducted in the format of an open tender with special conditions, and the company was the only participant. The company expects to receive UAH 4 million 761.4 thousand for the vehicles.
