☑️ Astion is bankrupting his own firm
⚖️ The Commercial Court of Kyiv region in 10 March 2026 opened bankruptcy proceedings against LLC “Inter Way Capital.” The company is part of the orbit of Dnipro businessman Vasyl Astion, who is linked to a number of raider conflicts and a former association with ex-regionalist Vitaliy Khomutynnik.
LLC “Inter Way Capital” is registered in Dnipro in 2016 with an authorized capital of 50 million hryvnias. The main activity is other types of lending. Director — Denys Lukashevych. The company’s owner is JSC INVKIF “Genesis Capital,” whose shareholders are brothers Yevhen and Vasyl Astiony.
Astion was at one time a deputy of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Council, and in 2019 he ran for the Verkhovna Rada from the “Opposition Bloc.” On that same list were Vitaliy Khomutynnik and Yevhen Balitsky, who later headed the occupation administration in the seized territory of Zaporizhzhia region. Astion’s real notoriety came not from political projects but from high-profile raider scandals around enterprises such as “Kyiv Compound Feed Plant,” “Zhytomyr Distillery and Vodka Plant,” and poultry producer “Havrylivski Kurchata.” The businessman likely failed to reach an agreement with creditors on debt restructuring. Prominent members of the Dnipro business clan have always been present in his business circle, including Andriy Smirnov, who is currently wanted by NABU. It is currently unknown whether Astion himself managed to leave the territory of Ukraine.
Vasyl Astion repeatedly attracted the attention of law enforcement. 23 September 2022 detectives of the State Bureau of Economic Security opened a criminal case against him and his brother Yevhen. They were accused of systematic tax evasion over 2017–2021 in the amount of nearly 61,5 million hryvnias. According to the investigation, the brothers controlled a number of agricultural enterprises in the Dnipropetrovsk region and siphoned funds through the Cypriot offshore company “Dnipro Agro Alliance LTD.”
In the sixth convocation of parliament (2007–2012) Astion worked on a voluntary basis as an assistant to then-Party of Regions MP Vitaliy Khomutynnik. It is through Khomutynnik that he is linked to sanctioned oligarchs. In the Republic shopping center project, Astion acted as the authorized representative of the company “Soltex Capital.”
While, according to Dubai Unlocked, Vitaliy Khomutynnik invested more than 5 million dollars in real estate on Palm Jumeirah in Dubai in the summer of 2022, his former partner faces bankruptcy proceedings for one of the key companies in his group.
