Since July 2025, JSC “State Joint-Stock Company “Automobile Roads of Ukraine” has been pursuing a systematic policy of active search and return of specialized road equipment and mechanisms that are on the balance sheet of the company’s subsidiaries, road construction companies, but were lost as a result of the criminal mismanagement of previous managers.
This is equipment that over the past decade and a half has been transferred to private road operators at non-market prices, and then simply disappeared, was simply stolen from the production bases of road construction companies and was even hidden in private estates.
– But as the popular saying goes: “No matter how much rope you twist, there will be an end.”
An example of the inevitability of consequences for criminal actions is the decision of the Zvyahel City District Court of Zhytomyr Region regarding a former employee of the State Enterprise “Zhytomyr Oblavtodor” (OJSC “State Joint Stock Company “Automobile Roads of Ukraine”) who, while holding the position of a materially responsible person and abusing his official position, appropriated and sold off the Oblavtodor’s road equipment and other property with impunity in the period 2019-2022. It has been proven that the accused appropriated 4 vehicles – 2 tractors, a passenger car and a garbage truck. He explained his actions regarding the equipment he stole, which he transported for storage to his home and to a neighboring farm, as follows: “so that other thieves would not steal it.”
The court found the man guilty of causing damage in the amount of – handcuffs on his wrists and six years in prison for the “enterprising” official from Zvyahel now ahead.
This is exactly what will happen to all dishonest employees of the company who are trying to turn an enterprise 100% owned by the State into their own store.
Today, the management of JSC “State Joint Stock Company “Automobile Roads of Ukraine” is conducting a number of official investigations into possible facts of abuse of official position by officials of the regional road transport departments and obtaining illegal benefits from the use of movable and immovable property of subsidiaries.
- All materials of official investigations are currently being transferred to the relevant investigative bodies in order to further obtain the actions of the said officials in accordance with the current Code of Criminal Procedure and to issue court decisions.
That is why the management of JSC “State Joint Stock Company “Automobile Roads of Ukraine” calls on all those who have illegally seized the property of the regional road transport departments and illegally use it for their own selfish purposes to voluntarily return it to the Company’s subsidiaries – while there is still such an opportunity.
Whoever does not do this – let him blame himself.
The finale will be logical and the payback for greed will overtake everyone who confuses their own pocket with state property.
