The bail for Tishchenko was paid by a firm with no turnover
This was reported by *Ukrainska Pravda*.
According to Ukrainska Pravda, the largest portion of the bail for Mykola Tyshchenko was paid by Vostoktranslogistika LLC. The company paid 5 million hryvnias out of the total amount of 10 million hryvnias.
A further 4.35 million hryvnias was contributed by Kostyantyn Burkovskyi. The remaining 650,000 hryvnias, as the publication reports, was paid by Tyshchenko himself.
Earlier, the MP’s lawyer stated that the bail had been paid using funds from Tyshchenko himself and a third party, but did not specify who exactly had helped to pay the money.
What is known about ‘Vostoktranslogistics’
“Vostoktranslogistics” LLC was registered in Dnipro in 2014. The company’s main activity is the leasing of machinery and equipment.
According to UP, the company’s authorised capital stands at 200,000 UAH. In 2025, the company reported zero revenue and a net loss of 71,600 UAH. In 2024, revenue was also zero, whilst the loss amounted to 54,900 UAH.
At the same time, at the end of 2025, the company’s balance sheet showed assets of 64.37 million UAH and liabilities of 64.59 million UAH. The company’s staff list shows one employee.
Who runs the company
The current owner and director of ‘Vostoktranslogistics’ is Dmytro Perederii. According to OpenDataBot, he became the company’s director in January 2025 and its founder in December of the same year.
Until 4 December 2025, the company’s founder was Ferama Logistic Ltd, registered in Cyprus, with Pavlo Zhytskyi listed as the ultimate beneficial owner. He also managed the company from September 2019 to January 2025.
UP notes that in 2016, Pavlo Zhytskyi was convicted as a participant in the so-called ‘gas case’ involving former MP Oleksandr Onyshchenko. Under a plea bargain with the prosecutor, he admitted to heading a company that was used to sell state-owned gas through fictitious auctions at below-market prices.
‘Vostoktranslogistics’ itself was previously known as ‘Gaz-Ekosistema’ and was involved in trading gas via local pipelines. The company changed its name and main line of business in February 2018.
Who is Kostyantyn Burkovskyi?
According to UP, Konstantin Burkovsky contributed a further 4.35 million hryvnias towards Tishchenko’s bail.
He is listed in the registers as the owner of several companies. He owns 100 per cent of Lampogaz-Ukraine LLC, 70 per cent of Ukraine Investment Group LLC and 20 per cent of Ukrpromkhimgroup LLC. The nominal value of his shares in these companies totals over 14 million hryvnias.
Burkovsky is also registered in Kyiv as a sole trader specialising in legal services. Furthermore, he is still listed in the registers as the head of the now-defunct Ternopil Regional State Association of the Alcohol and Spirits Industry, ‘Ternopilspirt’.
In 2015, Burkovsky was among the candidates for the post of director of the state-owned enterprise ‘Ukrspyrt’, but the selection process was not completed at the time due to a legal challenge.
What was in his declarations
In 2020, Burkovsky submitted a declaration as a candidate for the post of director of the state-owned enterprise ‘Energia Pryrody’.
In his 2019 declaration, he did not specify his personal income, but declared 1 million hryvnias and 20,000 dollars in cash, shareholdings in three companies and a 2006 Land Rover.
A year earlier, he had declared 1.5 million hryvnias and 20,000 US dollars in cash. UP notes that the most recent available declaration relates to 2019, so it does not allow for a determination of Burkovsky’s current financial status or the source of the 4.35 million hryvnias deposited in 2026.
In 2019, Burkovsky also stood as an independent candidate for the Verkhovna Rada, but was not elected as a deputy.
What is Tishchenko suspected of?
On 3 July, the High Anti-Corruption Court imposed a preventive measure on Mykola Tyshchenko in the form of a bail of 10 million hryvnias.
According to the investigation, in August 2023, Tyshchenko requested over 1 million dollars in unlawful benefits from a person he believed to be involved in the operation of call centres. In exchange, he allegedly promised to use his powers as a Member of Parliament in that person’s interests, but did not receive the money.
Investigators also believe that the MP laundered 12.6 million hryvnias of illicit origin through a fictitious gift agreement with his ex-wife, and subsequently included this information in his declaration.
The bail allows Tyshchenko to remain at liberty during the investigation, but he must comply with the procedural obligations imposed by the court.
Information regarding the origin of the funds has become a separate aspect of the scandal, as, according to Ukrayinska Pravda, half of the bail was paid by a company that has had no turnover for the past two years, whilst a significant portion was paid by a businessman whose current financial status cannot be determined from the latest available declarations.
