Which Regions Buy the Most Vehicles via Prozorro — and Why

In 2025 and the first half of 2026, contracting authorities signed contracts through Prozorro for more than 10,000 vehicles worth roughly UAH 14 billion. Almost 40% of that sum — UAH 5.64 billion — went to military units. 

Setting military units aside, the remaining contracting authorities accounted for UAH 8.36 billion in contracts. Distributing that entire sum according to where each contracting authority is registered, however, would be misleading.

National-level contracting authorities

Some institutions procure vehicles for units across various regions or operate nationwide. They include, for example, the Main Directorate of the National Guard, the State Border Guard Service, the Main Directorate of Intelligence, the SSU central office and large state-owned companies. Most of these institutions are registered in Kyiv. Had we automatically assigned all of their contracts to the capital, it would have significantly distorted the regional picture. We therefore placed such contracting authorities in a separate category — national and interregional. The total value of their contracts in this part of the analysis came to UAH 5.6 billion.

Half of that sum was contracted by the National Police of Ukraine — UAH 2.84 billion. Its most expensive procurement covered 300 Skoda Octavia for UAH 361 million. A further UAH 483 million went to the Service Center for National Police Units, whose largest contract was UAH 244.4 million for 200 Skoda Octavia. Third came the Gas Transmission System Operator of Ukraine, with contracts worth UAH 234 million. Its orders included 63 KG Mobility Musso Grand pickups for UAH 110.2 million.

Some of the vehicles bought by local authorities and other institutions may have been intended for subsequent transfer to the Defense Forces. This breakdown therefore shows who bought the vehicles, not necessarily who will use them.

Kyiv and Kyiv region lead 

Once national and interregional contracting authorities are set aside, Kyiv and Kyiv region account for UAH 543 million. Of that, UAH 222.9 million was contracted by authorities in the capital and a further UAH 320.1 million by institutions in the Kyiv region. 

Among local contracting authorities in Kyiv and the region, the largest volume was contracted by the Veterans Policy Directorate of the Kyiv RMA — UAH 66.9 million. Its biggest procurement was 15 specially equipped Citroën Jumper for UAH 31 million, to transport people with disabilities and others with reduced mobility, along with two Peugeot Boxer for UAH 4.1 million. 

The Security Police Directorate in Kyiv signed contracts worth UAH 42.2 million. Among other things, it bought three KG Mobility Musso Grand pickups for UAH 4.3 million.

A further UAH 41.4 million went to the Main Directorate of the National Police in Kyiv. Its most expensive procurement was one Skoda Kodiaq, five Skoda Karoq and one Volkswagen for UAH 10 million. 

Zaporizhzhia region 

Second place goes to Zaporizhzhia region, where contracting authorities signed contracts worth UAH 349 million. Almost 80% of that sum — UAH 277.1 million — went to the region’s Defense Work Directorate. Its largest procurement was 70 Peugeot Landtrek pickups for UAH 92.2 million, for the needs of the Defense Forces. 

A further UAH 20 million was contracted by the Main Directorate of the National Police in Zaporizhzhia region. Its procurements included 10 Renault Duster for UAH 10.62 million.

Also among the region’s largest contracting authorities is the SSU Directorate in Zaporizhzhia region, which signed contracts worth UAH 8.3 million. The most expensive was the procurement of two Peugeot Rifter for UAH 2.19 million.

Dnipropetrovsk region 

In the Dnipropetrovsk region, UAH 302 million was contracted for vehicles. The largest contracting authority was the executive committee of the Kryvyi Rih City Council, which signed contracts worth UAH 134.2 million. Its most expensive procurement was 15 JAC T8 pickups and the same number of Great Wall Wingle 7 for UAH 34.5 million. The local TV and radio company Rudana later reported that Kryvyi Rih had handed 30 new pickups over to Ukraine’s defenders. 

The Cherkaske Settlement Council of Samar district contracted vehicles worth UAH 15.6 million. Its largest contract was for six Suzuki Vitara for UAH 6.5 million.

A further UAH 14.1 million went to the SSU Directorate in Dnipropetrovsk region. The most expensive was the procurement of three Citroën SpaceTourer for UAH 5.3 million.

Odesa region

In the Odesa region, contracting authorities signed contracts worth UAH 215.1 million. The largest share went to the Main Directorate of the National Police in the Odesa region — UAH 63.7 million. Its procurements included six Renault Trafic for UAH 13.2 million.

Another UAH 39 million in procurement was carried out by the Central Procurement Organization of the Odesa Regional Council. It included five Mitsubishi L200 pickups for UAH 10.3 million for the Department of Economy of the Odesa RSA. The justification states that the vehicles’ specifications were set with the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in mind. 

The SSU Directorate in Odesa region signed contracts worth UAH 26.6 million. One of its largest procurements was two Volkswagen Caravelle for UAH 4.8 million.

Kharkiv region 

The Kharkiv region rounds out the top five regions by value — UAH 154 million was contracted for vehicles here. Among local contracting authorities, the largest share went to the Main Directorate of the State Emergency Service in the Kharkiv region — UAH 19.1 million. Almost all of that sum went on 12 JAC T6 pickups for UAH 17.8 million.

The Security Police Directorate in the Kharkiv region signed contracts worth UAH 14.6 million. In particular, it bought four Renault Duster for UAH 4.9 million.

The Zolochiv Settlement Council contracted vehicles worth UAH 9.8 million. Its biggest outlay was on two Toyota Hilux pickups — UAH 3.54 million.

The five regions with the largest sums accounted for UAH 1.6 billion. In the three regions with the lowest figures, by contrast, the value of contracts did not exceed UAH 35 million. 

Where the least was contracted 

The smallest sums were recorded in Sumy region — UAH 35 million; Ivano-Frankivsk region — UAH 26 million; and Kirovohrad region — UAH 19.5 million.

In the Sumy region, the largest volume was contracted by the regional SSU directorate — UAH 6.2 million. Its most expensive procurement was a specialized Skoda Kodiaq for UAH 2.08 million. Slightly less — UAH 4.7 million — went to the Main Directorate of the National Police in Sumy region, whose biggest outlay was a specialized Hyundai Staria for UAH 2.3 million. A further UAH 3.5 million was contracted by the Sumy pre-trial detention center. Its most expensive procurement was a Skoda Kodiaq for UAH 2.35 million.

In the Ivano-Frankivsk region, the largest sum was contracted by the Security Police Directorate — UAH 5.3 million. In particular, it bought two specialized Renault Duster for UAH 2.2 million. Almost as much — UAH 5.2 million — was spent by the SSU Directorate in Ivano-Frankivsk region on three Skoda Octavia. Another large contract in the region was signed by the Ivano-Frankivsk zonal department of the Military Law Enforcement Service: a special-purpose vehicle based on the Fiat Ducato cost UAH 2.7 million.

In Kirovohrad region, the largest sum went to the Oleksandriia Transport municipal enterprise. It bought a Mitsubishi L200 pickup for UAH 2.4 million and handed it over to the Defense Forces. Slightly less — UAH 2.3 million — was spent by the Kirovohrad Regional Blood Transfusion Station on a Ford Transit. The Main Directorate of the National Police in Kirovohrad region signed contracts worth UAH 2.1 million, the most expensive being a Renault Duster for UAH 1.1 million.

The analysis shows that even leaving military units out of the count, a significant share of vehicles remains tied to the needs of the front and security agencies. Some vehicles are bought by local authorities to hand them over to the military, and the largest contracting authorities in the regions include the police, the State Emergency Service, the SSU and other bodies in the security and defense sector. In other words, even with military units excluded, the defense and security component of this procurement remains highly visible.
