As reported by "Komersant Ukrainian", the official wording of the new tender now reads as follows: “for basic training of the population in national resistance, ” and spending on the reconstruction of the camp’s facilities continues to rise rapidly.
In August 2025, a procurement worth 36 million hryvnias was carried out, and by November of that same year, an additional 59 million hryvnias had been allocated. Separately, in December 2025, 3 million hryvnias were spent solely on conducting the relevant expert assessment. In July 2026, a new tender was announced, with an estimated cost of 42.37 million hryvnias, excluding VAT.
The contracting authority for the work is “Technical Supervision,” a municipal enterprise of the Lviv Regional Council.
According to the Public Association “Center for Financial Investigations,” creating infrastructure for national resistance and preparing the population for wartime conditions is a critically important task; however, there are concerns that, under the guise of “national resistance,” a major renovation of a recreation and tourism facility is actually being carried out using local budget funds.
In particular, the civic organization questioned the validity of the cost estimates—for example, the expenditure of 3 million hryvnias solely on an expert assessment.
