Shevchenko National University of Kyiv Overpaid More Than 2.2 Million Hryvnia for Electricity

A former vice rector of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv has been notified that she is suspected of abuse of office in connection with the procurement of electricity.

According to the investigation, in 2025 the university entered into a contract with a private company to supply electricity to its academic buildings. Subsequently, the parties signed several supplementary agreements, raising the price each time.

The prosecutor’s office claims that the resulting price significantly exceeded the market average. At the same time, according to the investigation, the then-vice rector failed to take measures to stop the purchases at inflated prices and did not initiate the termination of the contract.

As a result, according to investigators’ estimates, the university overpaid by more than 2.2 million hryvnias.

The former officials are charged under Part 2 of Article 364 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine—abuse of power or official position resulting in serious consequences. The pretrial investigation is ongoing.

The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) announced a special operation to expose a criminal organization which, according to preliminary data, operated under the leadership of current and former members of the Ukrainian Parliament and with the participation of high-ranking officials from the Office of the President and other individuals.

As a reminder, the High Anti-Corruption Court recently convicted a relative of Member of Parliament Goncharenko.

The actions and financial status of former Deputy Prosecutor General Dmytro Verbytskyi warrant a thorough investigation by anti-corruption agencies. This opinion was expressed by Oleksiy Goncharenko, a member of parliament and chairman of the Verkhovna Rada’s Temporary Investigative Commission, in an interview with UA.News.
