Business with a Russian footprint in Ukraine: three companies that earn the most
“Motor Sich,” “Sandora,” and the Odessa Container Terminal have a Russian footprint, writes Glavkom.
Southern Ukraine has the largest share of companies whose business is connected with the Russian Federation. The greatest number of companies with a Russian footprint was found in Odesa region (1199). In second place is Zaporizhzhia region (371 company), then Mykolaiv region (299 companies) and Kherson region (201 company). This is evidenced by the results of a YouControl study.
Investigators note that the revenue record for this year was held by PJSC Motor Sich, which supplied the aggressor state with military-purpose goods for Russian assault aviation. Samples of military aviation were massively used by the invaders in the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Next in terms of revenue was the company “Sandora,” linked to a company that did not leave the Russian market. The third place goes to the Odessa Container Terminal subsidiary.
As of today, the head of YouControl’s social direction, Veronika Boyko, notes that the Ukrainian authorities have decided that companies connected to the Russian Federation cannot participate in state tenders.
“We regularly conduct studies and update data on Ukrainian companies that have ties with Russia or Belarus. But the problem is that after 24 in February, more than 140 public registers, from which we previously obtained information, moved to restricted access,” Veronika Boyko explained.
Recall that earlier YouControl’s R&D center analyzed data on state procurements since the start of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine and found that more than 190 winner companies of tenders for a total of over 985 million hryvnias have ties to Russia and Belarus.
It is also known that today about 21 thousand Ukrainian companies have ties to business in the Russian Federation. A significant portion of these companies won state tenders at the time when Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
By the way, 7 in November it became known that strategically important enterprises linked to Kostiantyn Zhevago, Ihor Kolomoyskyi, Vitaliy Bohuslayev and Kostyantyn Hryhorishyny transition to state ownership. The Motor Sich enterprise, owned by Bohuslayev, was also nationalized; Bohuslayev was arrested in October, accused of treason.
Later, Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council Secretary Oleksiy Danilov confirmed that the assets of Motor Sich, Zaporizhtransformator, AutoKRAZ, Ukrtatnafta and Ukrnafta were transferred to the state. According to Danilov, the seized assets gained the status of military property, and their management was transferred to the Ministry of Defense.
Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal stated that five strategically important enterprises that were forcibly transferred to state ownership will operate to meet Ukraine’s defense needs during wartime.
As the head of government noted, the decision to nationalize the five enterprises was made following the meeting of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief’s Council.
