A military unit from the village of Chornomorske, Odesa region, has conducted a procurement for the purchase of a Mitsubishi L200 pickup truck.

The procurement was conducted in the format of an open tender with special features and the only participant was Avtograd Odesa Limited Liability Company. After signing the agreement, the company will have to provide the utility with cars by July 1, 2026. The company expects to receive UAH 2 million 38.5 thousand for this.
According to the YouControl service, Avtograd Odesa LLC was registered in 2018 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.
In January, the municipal enterprise "Centralized Procurement Organization of Odesa Regional Council" held a procurement to select a company that would be paid for four specialized cargo pickups based on Mitsubishi L200 or equivalent.

Oleksandr Kaufman is also the ultimate beneficiary of Auto Group+ LLC, with which the municipal property institution Motor Transport Economy of the Odesa City Executive Committee held a tender in the summer to select a company to purchase Renault Taliant passenger cars.
It also owns Basis Auto LLC, which in November 2024 sold a minivan made by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai Staria to the state-owned enterprise Izmail Commercial Sea Port for UAH 2 million 34 thousand.
In October of the same year, the Odesa Sea Commercial Port selected the subsidiary Basis Auto as the supplier of two minibuses.
