Kyiv Aviation Institute does not want to pay UAH 2 million debt and blames the military
1 May 12:37
For more than a year and a half, the Kyiv Aviation Institute (KAI) has not fulfilled its obligations to pay its electricity debt to Ukrinterenergo and asked the court to postpone the execution of the decision for another year. However, on April 21, 2025, the Economic Court of Kyiv Region denied the application for a postponement, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports.
The court decision of December 9, 2024, obliges the university to pay UAH 1,842,886.86 of principal, UAH 168,512.61 of annual interest, UAH 91,954.89 of inflationary losses, and UAH 25,240.25 of court fees. As stated in the ruling, the term for fulfillment of the principal obligation expired on November 20, 2023, meaning that the monetary obligation has remained outstanding for more than a year and a half.
KAI argued that the university is a non-profit organization, belongs to the critical infrastructure in accordance with the order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, and that the actual consumer of electricity since February 24, 2022 was a military unit located on the territory of the university. The university plans to file a recourse claim against the military unit.

“Ukrinterenergo filed an objection to this application and insisted that KAI did not prove exceptional circumstances for postponing the execution, such as lack of funds or a real threat of bankruptcy. The court agreed with these arguments, noting that the university had not provided sufficient evidence. The court also emphasized that the fact of temporary use of the facility by the military had already been taken into account in the previous court decision, and this circumstance was not a ground for reconsideration or creation of special conditions for KAI.
At the same time, the ruling does not specify how the military used the facility, what damage they caused to the university, or whether they paid the university.
As a result, the court ruled to dismiss the application. The university must comply with the court’s decision in full. The ruling came into force immediately after its announcement.
