According to Interfax-Ukraine, following audits of agencies under its jurisdiction, Ukraine’s State Agency for Infrastructure Recovery and Development canceled purchases of luxury cars in the regions totaling 7 million hryvnia and imposed a moratorium on such tenders.
In particular, the purchase of a Toyota Land Cruiser for 4.26 million hryvnias for the Recovery Service in Lviv Oblast was canceled, and the tender for a luxury car worth 2.9 million hryvnias for the Recovery Service in Kharkiv Oblast was canceled.
“Luxury cars—only at your own expense! The purchase of a Toyota Land Cruiser for 4.26 million hryvnias for the Restoration Service in Lviv Oblast is unacceptable. I share the public’s outrage and thank the journalists who brought this situation to light,” emphasized Ivan Fedorov, head of the State Agency for Infrastructure Restoration and Development of Ukraine, on Telegram.
As reported by “Nashi Hroshi,” on November 2, following the results of a tender, the Infrastructure Recovery and Development Service in Lviv Oblast ordered a passenger car for 4.26 million hryvnias from “Diamant” Service Center LLC. The contract called for the delivery by November 20 of a 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser GR Sport 3.3 Twin Turbo passenger car.
Fedorov emphasized that, at his instruction, audits have been launched at institutions under the jurisdiction of the Recovery Agency. In particular, problematic procurements were also identified in the Kharkiv region, where officials sought to acquire a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, for which a budget of 2,915,750 hryvnias had been allocated.
“In the Lviv region, the vehicle will be returned to the dealer, and 4.26 million UAH will be refunded to the account. In the Kharkiv region, the tender was canceled on November 6 at my instruction. A moratorium on the procurement of luxury vehicles has been implemented within the Agency’s system. The relevant personnel decisions have already been made. As the head of the Agency, I am responsible for the operation of the entire system. Budget funds must be directed toward people’s real needs, infrastructure protection, and the country’s recovery,” Fedorov emphasized.
