It's not about the appetites of the gas station chain #WOG, the company “#Континіум”, and not even about their cartel collusion with #ОККО and #SOCAR. It's about the fact that the authorities, represented by the tax office #Карнаух, #БЕБ #Цивінський and the Antimonopoly Committee #АМКУ #Кириленко, are themselves offering them a service to circumvent the law that limits prices and protects consumers. 🤷♂️ And the money extracted from the fuel business they invest, or rather launder, into new developments in Lutsk, elite cottages, their own bank, U.S. Treasury bonds, and land in the center of Kyiv.
In March Kyrylenko opens a new case on anti-competitive coordinated actions in the light oil products market. By April he reports to the Verkhovna Rada #ВРУ that there is no collusion. Instead of a decision to open a violation
the Verkhovna Rada committee issued recommendations to the chains.
🔻Kyrylenko, the current head of the AMCU, himself an accused #НАБУ who did not explain the origin of his own apartments, decides whether there is collusion among those who set the price per liter in the country.
🔻The BEB of Tsyvinsky signed a memorandum of cooperation with the Naftogaz Association of Ukraine. Its participants: WOG, OKKO, #SOCAR, #Shell, #AMIC — the same networks whose prices the AMCU supposedly investigates. The result of the cooperation: no proceedings against the major chains.
🔻Lesia Karnaukh’s tax office reports that WOG paid 4,26 billion UAH in taxes, of which 3,6 billion are import payments that are embedded in the price you see at the pump. The shadow fuel retail sector takes about 9 billion UAH from the budget per year. They inspect kiosks, not the networks.
Where that money goes. Formal owners of WOG: MP from the For the Future group Stepan #Івахів, Serhiy Lahur and Svitlana Ivakhiv. Above them sits WOG Holding B.V. in the Netherlands and W.O.G. Holding Limited in Cyprus, and the stake of the late founder Ihor Yeremeyev is locked in a trust in the British Virgin Islands for 360 years, his children see no dividends. The company's CEO, Andriy #Пивоварський, is a former minister of infrastructure. Shares of their own “Bank of Investments and Savings” worth 116,5 million UAH, 800 U.S. Treasury bonds, 1194 Ukrainian government bonds (OVDPs), beneficiary participation in 20 companies in 4 jurisdictions, a daughter with a firm in Monaco. Ex-wife Svitlana Ivakhiv re-registered in Monaco in November 2025.
“Kontinium Development” is building in Volyn “StyleUp” with 800 apartments, “Skywalker”, “Lithuanian Quarter” and the elite settlement “Octava” next to Ivakhiv’s own estate, where houses start at 💰8,5 million UAH. Plans include another 2170 apartments totaling 130 thousand square meters. And in Kyiv the LLC “Protasiv Yar” of the same group holds 16 of the 20 hectares of the Roman Ratushnyi landscape preserve, privatized back in 2004. In March 2026 the appeal removed the protected status from these hectares. 24 June the Supreme Court restored the status.
🤷♂️The price per liter is the price of bread, the price of rotation, the price of evacuation. The AMCU itself acknowledges: fuel retail plays the price-setting role for most markets of the economy. When oil falls by 40% and the pump price stays the same, the difference is paid by the farmer, the carrier, the army and the budget, which makes up the difference with a cashback from the reserve fund.
We filed complaints with the AMCU, BEB, the State Tax Service, NABU and SAP, the State Financial Monitoring Service, NAPC and the Office of the Prosecutor General. We demand:
▫️to qualify the synchronized pricing of WOG, OKKO and SOCAR as collusion;
▫️to check the retail margins of the chains against import parity;
▫️to check transfer pricing and the route of dividends through the Netherlands and Cyprus;
▫️to disclose the beneficiaries of the trust in the British Virgin Islands;
▫️to check the conflict of interest of MP Ivakhiv.
Why doesn't the AMCU see collusion?
Why does the BEB sign memorandums with those it should be investigating?
Why does the tax office not see billions being siphoned from WOG?
And why does MP Ivakhin, who votes on laws for the fuel market, own the fuel market, a bank, the hero’s land and an apartment in Monaco?
