Dubious business operations of MP Oleg Dunda's wife

Oleg Dunda, a member of parliament from the Servant of the People party, officially resides in Kyiv with his cohabitant, Elena Krol, and their daughter, Sofia. However, behind the modest figures in his declaration lie surprising facts.

 Elena Krol is a relative of Semyon Krol, a former official from the Kuchma and Yushchenko eras, known for his corrupt activities. Dunda's father-in-law is currently abroad.

Business operations with a dubious reputation

Elena Krol previously owned the company Ukrayinka-Oil LLC, registered in Obukhiv in 2022. In early 2024, she withdrew from the list of founders, and the enterprise was transferred to Vladyslav Anatoliyovych Melekhin, who is the founder or beneficial owner of more than 50 companies across Ukraine, predominantly in Boyarka and Vyshhorod.

Most of Melekhin's enterprises are registered under the Ukrainian Classification of Economic Activities code 46.90 — "Non-specialised wholesale trade", which allows them to deal with a wide range of goods: from building materials to household appliances and food products. His companies are also engaged in logistics, construction, and IT services, including "Aiti Pro Loft" and "Aiti Box Plus".

Link to humanitarian funds

According to an investigation by Slidstvo.Info, Melekhin is the founder of the public organisation "Bright Future of Ukraine", registered in May 2023 in Boyarka at 36 Sobornosti Street, office 6. Notably, this same location is listed as the address of Melekhin's company, "Segment Logistics".

In 2023, the organisation received 2.5 million UAH from the Ministry of Social Policy under a programme to support internally displaced persons and those affected by the war. However, the public organisation "Bright Future of Ukraine" has no website, no public reporting, and no confirmed activity regarding the distribution of these funds. The phone number listed in the documents does not answer, and the address in Boyarka is an ordinary residential house where local residents have never heard of the organisation.

Serial founder and suspicions of money laundering

Melekhin, being a "serial founder", is involved in dozens of companies, but his participation in the distribution of humanitarian funds raises serious questions. The scale of his business empire and his links to fictitious organisations suggest the possible use of schemes to absorb state resources.
