Molecules for the enemy: how the chemistry of Ukrainian Enamine ends up at Russian pharma giants 🧪🦠
While Ukraine fights for every inch of its land, some businesses manage to sit on two chairs. According to investigators, one of the world's largest manufacturers of chemical compounds for pharmaceuticals — the Ukrainian company Enamine — continues to supply products to Russian pharma giants that work for the Russian military-industrial complex and state defense contracts.
The investigation found the following facts:
➡️ “Padding” to circumvent restrictions: Materials and compounds reach Russia not directly but through chains of intermediary companies in third countries. The schemes involve local distributors connected to Russian pharma holdings.
➡️ Clients in Russia: Among the end recipients of the products were Russian pharma giants (Pharmstandard, Chimrar, etc.) that supply medicines to the Russian army, develop drugs for state orders, and work closely with the Russian Ministry of Defense.
➡️ Dual use: The research molecules and reagents exported by Enamine are used not only for civilian medicines but also for biotech and chemical compound developments that can be applied for military purposes.
While some give their last for the front, others look for loopholes to preserve profits abroad and in “gray” zones. We await a response from the competent authorities and law enforcement.
