According to the final resource breakdown, the most expensive items are two Chinese lifts: a Shanghai Mitsubishi TV Tower MONA-MDD410 passenger lift with a load capacity of 1,000 kg for UAH 31.84 million (approx. US$765,000) and a general-purpose Institute 713 MONA HGT-250-250126 freight lift with a 250-kg capacity for UAH 23.05 million (approx. US$554,000). Market prices are unknown.

The company website says it builds turnkey mobile communication base stations and implements IT solutions. It specialises in construction and installation work, technical and maintenance services and emergency and repair work.

Ukrainian troops resume active orders for fortification construction
Ukrainian military units began actively placing orders for fortification construction at the end of March 2025. Source: Ukrainian investigative media outlet Nashi Hroshi, citing Ukrainian procurement system Prozorro Details: Between 22 and 29 March, military units announced procurement contracts for fortification works worth UAH 1.29 billion (about US$31.1 million). The largest contracts were awarded to SpecTechResource LLC (UAH 444 million or US$10.7 million). This company is registered in Kyiv and owned by Kyiv resident Mykola Kolibabchuk. It is currently unclear where the company will carry out fortification work. However, before Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, it had a contract for barracks construction in the city of Bakhmut (Donetsk Oblast), which law enforcement suspected of funnelling money to shell companies. Other significant contracts were awarded to Sumybudinvest LTD LLC (UAH 270 million or US$6.5 million) and Magma LLC (UAH 193 million or US$4.6 million). Both companies are registered in Sumy, near the front line with Russia's Kursk Oblast. "The procurement of fortifications saw a certain pause since February before these contracts. Since the beginning of the year, military units have conducted purchases under code 45220000-5 without using the electronic system for only UAH 219 million (about US$5.2 million)," the outlet says. Background: In 2024, the Ukrainian government allocated UAH 1.9 billion (about US$45.8 million) to Zaporizhzhia for the construction of fortifications. The project has been fully completed.
