The Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine (AMCU) announced that it had uncovered a long-standing cartel conspiracy in the capital’s household waste collection services market, as well as the manipulation of the results of a 2021 tender for the procurement of these services, and decided to fine the municipal enterprise (ME) “Kyivkomunservice” and eight other companies a total of 313.3 million UAH.
According to the AMCU, “Kyivkomunservice,” Altfater Kyiv LLC, “Volodar–Roz” LLC, “Kyivspetstrans” PJSC, “Kramar Recycling” LLC, “Celtic” LLC, and “Spetskommuntechnika” LLC divided the market among themselves as part of a cartel agreement, thereby restricting other companies’ access to it.
For this, on July 31, the Committee’s board fined them a total of over 175.8 million UAH and ordered them to cease the aforementioned violations.
In another decision on the same day, the Board imposed a fine on the same municipal enterprise and four other companies from the previous list (Altfater Kyiv LLC, Volodar–Roz Firm LLC, “Celtic” LLC and “Spetskommuntechnika” LLC), as well as “Profpererobka” LLC and “Kramar Eco” LLC, for 137.5 million UAH for distorting the results of a 2021 tender—held pursuant to an order from the Kyiv City State Administration—to select a contractor for household waste collection services.
“It has been proven that the participants did not compete with one another for the right to perform the contract but had agreed in advance on the division of roles, resulting in the victory of one of them and the safeguarding of the economic interests of the others,” the AMCU stated in a press release on its website. According to the committee, proceedings in both cases began in June 2025.
In 2025, the municipal enterprise “Kyivkomunservice” increased its revenue by 4% to 875.3 million UAH, while its net profit decreased by 18.5% to 48.7 million UAH.
Ukrainian legal entities are required to submit information on their vehicles to the TCC and the SP twice a year, even if the company does not have any vehicles or other equipment on its balance sheet.
As explained by the Zhytomyr Regional TCC and SP in response to a request from OpenDataBot, if a company has no vehicles, it must submit a so-called “zero” report.
Information on the availability and technical condition of vehicles and equipment must be submitted annually no later than June 20 and December 20. This requirement is stipulated in the Regulations on Military Transport Obligations, approved by Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 1921.
Failure to submit the information or missing the deadlines may result in a fine of between 34,000 and 59,500 UAH for company officials.
However, not every violation necessarily results in a fine. An official may provide evidence of valid reasons for the delay, such as medical treatment, a business trip, or caring for a person with a disability.
In the Zhytomyr region in 2026, four companies received such resolutions; however, in all cases, the reasons for the delay were deemed valid, so no fines were imposed.
OpenDataBot recommends that companies verify in advance who exactly is designated as responsible for submitting the information and retain proof of its timely submission.

In June 2026, the National Bank of Ukraine imposed sanctions on “I Lombard” LLC for violations of financial monitoring and foreign exchange laws, the regulator announced on July 7. The total amount of the fines was 4.196 million UAH.
The company received the main fine—4.096 million UAH—for improper organization and conduct of initial financial monitoring.
According to the NBU, the violations concerned the development and implementation of internal documents, customer verification, the application of a risk-based approach, additional measures regarding politically exposed persons, as well as the provision of information and documents upon request by the National Bank.
“I Lombard” was fined an additional 100,000 UAH for violating the procedures for conducting currency exchange transactions. In particular, the NBU noted the absence in internal documents of procedures for coordination between separate divisions when conducting currency exchange transactions, as well as the failure to collect remaining foreign currency balances from the cash register of a structural division.
In addition, the company received written warnings for improper maintenance of customer records and for conducting foreign exchange transactions with non-resident individuals involving the granting and repayment of loans, as well as the payment of interest in hryvnia, without the appropriate license from the NBU.
“I Lombard” LLC is a non-bank financial institution registered in Ukraine. The NBU included the company in the State Register of Financial Institutions and issued it a license to provide financial services in October 2023.

The regulator also pointed out the bank’s improper application of a risk-based approach. In particular, the NBU noted that the bank failed to identify a high level of risk in business relationships with clients whose ultimate beneficial owners are citizens of a state engaged in armed aggression against Ukraine.
Furthermore, according to the NBU, the bank failed to promptly notify the specially authorized body of threshold financial transactions and violated requirements regarding the termination of business relationships with clients who did not provide documents or information necessary for proper verification.
In addition to the fine, PUMB received a written warning for deficiencies in its internal financial monitoring documents. The NBU noted that these documents lacked procedures sufficient for effective risk management and for preventing the use of banking services for money laundering, terrorist financing, or the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
