“CONTRACT PRODREZERV 5,” a contractor for government orders, has reported a potential threat to national security
“KONTRAKT PRODREZERV 5” LLC, which supplies food to Ukrainian military units, has published a statement regarding the discovery of surveillance systems targeting its employees and vehicles. The company views this not only as interference in its business operations but also as a potential threat to national security, reports
Accordingly, the company has contacted the Security Service of Ukraine and the National Police.
The company reported that on April 29 and 30, 2026, unidentified individuals were observing the company’s premises and its vehicles, taking photos and videos:
“Surveillance cameras recorded two vehicles—a gray Skoda with license plates AE 4784 IM and AH 1958 ME. Individuals near them repeatedly approached the vehicles and conducted visual inspections”
Later, technical surveillance devices—GPS trackers or other devices installed without the owners’ knowledge—were discovered on the company’s vehicles. These were BMW (license plate AE ______ TV) and Mercedes-Benz (license plate KE _____ AN) vehicles used by the company director’s advisor.
“Any illegal tracking of company representatives’ movements creates the possibility of determining supply routes, identifying product transfer points, and obtaining information about the locations of military units,” the statement notes.
In the statement, the company emphasizes that the illegal collection of such information could lead to the leakage of data regarding the locations of military units, warehouses, and supply points. Furthermore, this poses a risk to the lives of military personnel and company employees, as well as a potential threat to the country’s defense capabilities.
“Supply routes are not just about logistics. They can be used to reach supply points and the locations of military units. And this is already a matter of human safety,” emphasized “KONTRAKT PRODREZERV 5” LLC.
The company does not rule out that the actions of unknown individuals may be linked to espionage or sabotage, as well as aiding an aggressor state. At the same time, the company has no confirmation as to whether these were lawful actions by law enforcement or an attempt at outside interference.

The statement notes that the recorded actions bear the hallmarks of offenses under Article 182 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine—illegal collection of confidential information—and Article 359 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine—illegal use of special technical means for covertly obtaining information—and, depending on the circumstances, may also constitute espionage (Article 114), sabotage (Article 113), or aiding an aggressor state (Article 111-2).
Accordingly, the supplier requests that the Security Service of Ukraine and the National Police take action, as well as:
- enter the information into the Unified Register of Pre-trial Investigations;
- initiate a pre-trial investigation;
- to verify possible ties between the individuals involved and foreign entities;
- identify the owners of the vehicles used for surveillance;
- take measures to prevent further violations.
“Today, any surveillance of defense contractors is a matter of national security,” the company emphasized
