“Borivazh” under sanctions, a forcible takeover, and a canceled transfer to ARMA: how is Boholyubov maintaining an interest in the strategic terminal?
✅Following our complaint to the Unified Register of Pretrial Investigations, information about a criminal offense was entered in proceeding No. 42026042140000066 dated 15.09.2026 under part 4 of article 358 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. At the center of our attention is the activity of Hennadiy #Боголюбов, which, in particular, involved the seizure of the Borivazh grain terminal at the Port of Pivdennyi, as well as operations with industrial assets and the siphoning off of funds.
📌The Borivazh terminal is a strategic port asset that was previously pledged to the National Bank of Ukraine. 21 February 2025 the court seized the property complex, and on 6 March of the same year transferred it to the management of #АРМА. However, between March and October 2025 the agency failed to ensure a proper valuation of the asset, selection of a manager, and conclusion of a management agreement. On 31 October 2025 the court annulled the transfer of the property to ARMA’s management, as a result of which the asset left state control.
In this situation particular attention deserves the forcible seizure of the terminal we have recalled several times: about 50 young men of athletic build in balaclavas arrived at the facility in the Port of Pivdennyi, linked to the security company Sapsan. They blocked the territory and drove out the security guards; it was reported that seven employees were injured and hospitalized.
The forceful scenario was preceded by court decisions regarding the property complex valued at about 224 million UAH. The Commercial Court of Kyiv, at the suit of bankruptcy trustee Drobot, annulled the order to return the terminal to Agroterminal Logistic LLC, and earlier had declared the lease scheme invalid. ❗️Meanwhile, the complex was leased for years to related entities for 82,5 thousand UAH per month.
In February 2026 the rent was retroactively increased to 1,3 million UAH, although, according to the provided data, the market rental value was at least 3,95 million UAH. A filed appeal blocked the forced seizure of the property, after which, according to the material, a forcible takeover occurred.
🔎It is also worth recalling Boholyubov’s ties to former ARMA head Olena #Дума, acting head of the State Border Guard Service Valeriy #Вавринюк, Tymur #Міндіч, Oleksandr #Скотнік and Oleksiy #Кузнєцов. The matter concerns the use of related companies, including Kvarcit DM, Terminal “Borivazh”, Agroterminal Logistic and the Nikopol Ferroalloy Plant, to retain control over industrial and port assets, move financial flows, and evade taxes.
The financial context is significant as well. In 2022–2023 years, exports of ferroalloy products connected to the relevant enterprises amounted to about 💰853 million USD, and according to the State Bureau of Economic Security, tax evasion may have cost the state budget around 1,2 billion UAH. Separately, the SBU’s criminal case materials include financial transactions totaling more than 5,87 billion UAH.
The key question is how an asset transferred to ARMA’s management left state control, after which court disputes and violent confrontation unfolded around it.
