The court denied Euroenergotrade's request to restructure its debt to Ukrgasbank for 1,35 billion UAH — RBC
The company Euroenergotrade, which is linked to Yuriy Dubinsky, received a loan from the state-owned Ukrgasbank for more than 1,2 billion UAH, but by the end of 2023 it stopped meeting its obligations and accumulated a debt of about 1,35 billion UAH. Later the company tried to carry out a preventive restructuring, which could effectively have delayed the collection of funds, including receivables from Khim Trade belonging to Dmytro Firtash, who was added to the sanctions lists in 2021—a move that did not prevent Dubinsky from cooperating with Firtash's companies. It is clear that such an attempt to block repayment of the bank's debt at the expense of Khim Trade's receivables could well have been in the interest of sanctioned Firtash. Recall that Dubinsky's group of companies is listed as one of the subjects of a criminal investigation regarding cooperation with Firtash's business group.
On 30 June the court refused, finding the plan unrealistic, and on 9 September the Eastern Commercial Court of Appeal upheld that decision. The restructuring scheme did not work, and the debt to the state bank remains subject to collection.
