The trust of Ukrainians in the telethon continues to decline
December 28, 2023A recent investigative report involving former head of Ukraine’s State Property Fund, Dmytro Sennychenko, has stirred controversy. The investigation disclosed that Sennychenko and his associates were allegedly receiving monthly payments of $200,000 from state-owned enterprises such as the “Odesa Port Plant” and the “United Mining and Chemical Company,” amounting to a total of 10 billion hryvnias, ZN reported.
Journalists are scrutinizing the precision and detail in the actions of those involved, likening the unfolding events to a theatrical production where Sennychenko plays both the lead role and the director. The piece also narrates a meeting at Kyiv’s “Gorchitsa” restaurant among associates discussing their activities. During this meeting, Sennychenko, the former head of the State Property Fund, met with Serhiy Bayrak, who was an acquaintance. Sennychenko’s tenure at the Fund saw a sixfold increase in managed enterprises, including the Odesa Port Plant and the United Mining and Chemical Company.
The journalists shed light on issues at the Odesa Port Plant, attributing its 2016 shutdown to inexperienced leadership and lax oversight. The plant later resumed operations through a leasing arrangement, creating opportunities for shady transactions and financial losses.
