"WILD RING" AND A PRIVATE DAY OFF: HOW OFFICIALS OF THE LOZNO-OLEKSANDRIVKA MILITARY ADMINISTRATION USE IDP CHILDREN TO SHIELD CRONYISM

The unauthorized transit of displaced minors to unsanctioned, full-contact boxing bouts during martial law has been officially defended by the leadership of a relocated Luhansk military administration as a "private day off". Official records, institutional responses, and digital evidence expose a systemic exploitation of municipal welfare resources to service an uncertified private operation.

1. An Unsanctioned Event Outside the Legal Framework

On August 22, 2026, a boxing event advertised as an open tournament for displaced children took place in Kyiv at 5-A Saliutna Street. The organizers were the NGO "Donbas-Box" (EDRPOU 45880646) and the Charitable Foundation "Kryla Donbasu" (EDRPOU 45802788), both managed by Oleksiy Bakhtin.

The event operated in clear defiance of Ukrainian sports legislation:

• Boxing Federation of Ukraine (FBU): Formally declared the bouts unauthorized ("wild"). The Luhansk Regional Branch of the FBU (Submission Ref. 19/08 of 19.08.2026) referred the organizers to the FBU Disciplinary Commission for violations of the FBU Charter (Art. 1 para. 1.5, Art. 5 paras. 5.3.10 and 5.4.11). Licensed regional trainers instituted a strict boycott.
• Luhansk Regional State Administration: By Letter No. 01/01-22-3133 dated 08.09.2026, the Department of Youth and Sports confirmed the event was absent from the 2026 Unified Sports Calendar, with no petitions submitted by local authorities or the foundation.
• Irpin Municipal Executive Committee: Confirmed via Letter No. 01-24/5691 dated 08.09.2026 that municipal services never approved health, safety, refereeing, or shelter protocols for the Kyiv event.

2. The Crony Conduit: Municipal Resources for Private Promotion

Confronted with the coaches' boycott, organizers used internally displaced children from the Irpin coordination center of the Lozno-Oleksandrivka Settlement Military Administration (SVA) to populate the venue.

The logistical operation relied on direct personal ties:

• Olena Kramareva — Deputy Head of the Lozno-Oleksandrivka SVA.
• Yulia — leader of the "Svitanok" children's dance group at the SVA hub and godparent relation to Oleksiy Bakhtin (spiritual kinship confirmed on the foundation's social media on 28.07.2026).

On August 22, the children were transported to the Kyiv boxing facility. On August 23, the official Facebook page of the Lozno-Oleksandrivka SVA publicly announced their participation "at the invitation of our good friends" (Bakhtin's organizations). Simultaneously, video clips published by the foundation showed Kramareva and Yulia giving joint interviews ringside.

3. Administrative Admissions and Regulatory Evasion

Cooperation Agreement No. 31 signed with the Irpin Sports Department on August 26, 2026, serves as no defense: it was executed four days after the tournament had concluded. Furthermore, while SVA Head Yevgen Svitlychnyi is named as the signatory, Olena Kramareva personally executed the paperwork during the public photo opportunity.

Inquiries filed by the international NGO Association "DE L'AUTRE CÔTÉ DU DIALOGUE" (France, RNA W341015162) compelled written admissions from the authorities:

1. Lozno-Oleksandrivka SVA (Letter No. 1323 of 18.09.2026): Officially conceded that "no public officials responsible for the lives and health of the children were appointed". Attendance was defended by claiming August 22 was a Saturday, meaning public servants "have the right to manage their personal time at their own discretion" and attended "as private individuals".
2. Svatove District Military Administration (Letter No. 1/01.01-45-2237 of 21.09.2026): Certified that no transit notices were received, the Children's Service executed no safety oversight, and Agreement No. 31 was never submitted to district authorities. The District Administration replicated the "private day off" rationale verbatim and refused to open an internal investigation into Olena Kramareva's conduct.

By formally acknowledging that minors were taken to contact bouts without designated supervisory personnel during wartime, the administration's own correspondence establishes the factual basis for offenses under Article 137 (improper performance of duties regarding child safety) and Article 364 (abuse of official authority) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
