SE “Krasnolymanska Coal Company” is suing LLC “Trading House-Resource” to recover 57,45 million UAH of debt, inflation losses, and penalties under a coal supply contract.
SE “Krasnolymanska Coal Company” is suing LLC “Trading House-Resource” to recover 57,45 million UAH of debt, inflation losses, and penalties under a coal supply contract. This is evidenced by the ruling of the Dnipropetrovsk Commercial Court of Appeal dated 14 July, analyzed by the Nashi Hroshi website.
The case concerns a coal supply contract dated 18 August 2015. According to the state enterprise, “TD-Resource” owes 47,26 million UAH for coal. Krasnolymanska also charged the debtor 3,81 million UAH in inflation losses, 1,01 million UAH at 3% per annum, and 5,37 million UAH in penalties.
On 6 June this year, the Commercial Court of the Dnipropetrovsk region returned the state company’s statement of claim due to nonpayment of the court fee.
Krasnolymanska petitioned for a deferral of the court fee payment – 206 700 UAH (150 times the minimum wage, which is 1378 UAH). The state enterprise reported that it had only 178 thousand UAH in its accounts.
On 14 July the appellate court canceled the lower court’s ruling to return the statement of claim. The case materials were sent to the court of first instance.
TD-Resource was previously registered to Kharkiv entrepreneur Ihor Tupikov, who from 23 March to 1 September 2015 worked as a parliamentary aide to MP Serhii Tryhubenko (Petro Poroshenko Bloc).
Recently the company was registered in Zaporizhzhia to a resident of the Dnipropetrovsk region, Olesia Huliaieva. In addition, according to the court register, this firm was involved in a conversion center organized by a former employee of the Kharkiv tax police.
As previously reported on the TV program Nashi Hroshi with Denys Bihus, in September 2015 TD-Resource received a no-bid order from the state company Centrenergo for 520 million UAH. Krasnolymanska mine lost profit due to TD-Resource’s intermediation in those supplies. In addition, in November 2015 SE “Krasnolymanska Coal Company” concluded a subcontract with TD-Resource, transferring the right to extract on its seams. This occurred after a change in the mine’s management, which reported pressure from MP Serhii Tryhubenko.
The head of the Independent Trade Union of Miners of Ukraine, Mykhailo Volynets, calls MP Serhii Tryhubenko “the overseer of Ukraine’s coal industry. Above him is an even higher overseer – Mr. Kononenko.”
Another former aide to Serhii Tryhubenko, Yuliia Siomyk, now works as an adviser to the Minister of Energy and Coal Industry Ihor Nasalyk. Tryhubenko’s brother Vitalii was recently appointed head of the Kherson Regional Prosecutor’s Office.
In 2015 aide to MP Tryhubenko was Ihor Balabanov, who in 2014–2015 years headed Centrenergo. Balabanov was considered a liaison between Donetsk coal suppliers and the deputy head of the Petro Poroshenko Bloc faction, Ihor Kononenko, the curator of Centrenergo within the presidential force.
In the autumn of 2015 the new director of the Krasnolymanska mine became Oleksandr Dubovyk, who previously headed SE Donbasanthracite and was a member of the Party of Regions.
Acting director of Centrenergo is Oleh Kozemko. He took this position after the suspension of Ihor Balabanov at the beginning of September 2015.
