Sabotage in the center of the capital: critical infrastructure in the Gulliver complex was deliberately damaged
10 November 00:21
An inspection of the life support systems of the Gulliver shopping and office complex in Kyiv showed deliberate damage to critical equipment, its seizure and illegal export.
This was reported by the press service of Oschadbank, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports.
It is noted that the protocol drawn up by representatives of law enforcement agencies in the presence of witnesses during the inspection of the engineering systems of the Gulliver fuel and lubrication complex on October 31, 2025, as well as the inventory report based on the results of a further inspection of the facility from October 31 to November 3, revealed the facts of sabotage.
In particular, artificial blocking of the complex’s power supply systems and damage to backup power equipment were recorded.
Critical safety systems were also shut down due to the inability to provide backup power and the absence of important components and assemblies that are part of the engineering and IT infrastructure of the complex.
In addition, the water supply and sewage systems were shut down, and the cable and warning systems were damaged. There is no technical documentation regulating the operation of the complex’s life support systems.
The necessary equipment is currently being purchased and installed to restore the facility’s operation. The contractors are conducting additional inspections and testing all systems: power and gas equipment, ventilation, water supply and sewage.
Over the next week, the consortium of banks will receive interim results of testing the life support systems. After that, it will be possible to determine further terms for the resumption of the Gulliver service center.
In addition, the bank reminded that tenants will be exempted from rent payments for the entire period of temporary suspension of the complex.
As reported earlier, on July 26 this year, a decision was made to register the ownership of the Gulliver shopping and office complex with a consortium of Oschadbank (80%) and Ukreximbank (20%). The property was used as collateral to secure the loan. The foreclosure procedure was initiated by the two state-owned banks due to the failure of Tri O LLC, the debtor, which was the owner of the complex, to fulfill its obligations under the loan agreement.
Thus, on October 30, Oschadbank temporarily suspended the operation of the Gulliver shopping center due to the refusal of Tri O LLC employees to transfer critical engineering communications of the complex to the management. Oschadbank engaged the city’s utilities and the State Emergency Service to inspect the water supply, electricity, power grid and generator connections.
