Purchase by the Borshchahivka community in 2023 of the private kindergarten “Levenyatko” from an MP for UAH 98.3 million

According to a Bihus.Info investigation (session decisions of the Borshchahivka Village Council, declarations), in 2023 the Borshchahivka Village Council, headed by Oles Kudryk, decided to buy the premises of the «Leveniatko» preschool with a boiler house and land in the «Lvivskyi Zatyshok» residential complex for UAH 98,342,570 (the episode amount is the purchase price, not established losses). The seller was Member of Parliament (MP) Viktor Mialyk; the facility was already operating as a private one, so, according to journalists, the purchase did not reduce kindergarten waiting lists. Journalists compare the price with the construction of new kindergartens (for example, almost UAH 54 million in Zakarpattia) and with the price of a ready-made kindergarten in Bilohorodka (slightly over UAH 55 million for 1,900 m²); according to Mialyk's declarations, in 2020–2022 he received about UAH 3 million from renting out the building. Mialyk says he sold at the lowest of three expert valuations commissioned by the village council; Kudryk says the price included equipment and furniture. In October 2024, following a complaint by lawyers associated with Bihus.Info, the Kyiv-Sviatoshyn District Prosecutor's Office opened criminal proceedings under Article 191(4) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine regarding the community's purchase of kindergartens; the sources contain no notices of suspicion in these proceedings, so the episode status is journalistic investigation. There is no verdict.
