MP Boyko owns a number of energy companies through a Cypriot offshore
RC Natural Resources Fund from the Cayman Islands is mentioned in Cypriot auditors’ reports as the founder of a company that owns several energy enterprises in Ukraine. All of these energy assets have long been unofficially linked to OPZZh MP Yuriy Boyko, and one of them officially transferred into the ownership of his elder son in 2020.
This is reported by Bihus.Info.
Auditors call the offshore the founder of the Cypriot firm San Posidanius Investments Limited. Although in the official extracts from the Cyprus commercial register and in the Ukrainian register its founder is listed as lawyer Ruben Zakaryan.
The Cypriot San Posidanius also owns a number of energy assets in Ukraine:
75% of the shares of Volynoblenergo (since 2020 the shares were re-registered to the investment fund of Yuriy Boyko’s elder son Anatoliy Boyko; partner – Kostyantyn Hryhoryshyn. As of the end of 2020 the son’s investment fund ONIX had outstanding debt of 105 million UAH to Cypriot San Posidanius for the oblast energy shares, – stated in the fund’s audit report for 2020). 100% of Kharkiv CHPP-5,100% of KZP Petroleum (gas fields in Ukraine), 50% of Azov Petroleum LLC (gas fields in Ukraine, owned via ITSH Holding GmbH, partner – Vadim Novinsky).
In addition, San Posidanius Investments Limited owns: 50% of Beklentsa Management Ltd (British Virgin Islands), 50% of the Austrian company ITSH Holding GmbH, 99% of the Austrian Itons Holding GmbH (began liquidation in 2019) and previously owned 99% of the Ukrainian firm Ukristgaz (now liquidated).
All of the above-mentioned Ukrainian energy assets recorded under Cypriot San Posidanius Investments Limited have previously been unofficially linked to Yuriy Boyko. But he never declared these assets as his own despite legal requirements.
If Austrian lawyer Ruben Zakaryan is in fact acting in the interests of the Cayman fund, as Cypriot auditors write, that would mean Yuriy Boyko may also be connected to the island offshore.
The company RC Natural Resources Fund was established in the Cayman Islands in 2011. At that time Yuriy Boyko was energy minister under Yanukovych. The fund’s directors are listed as Michail Mavropoulos Stoliarenko, Michael Halsey and JTC Directors (Cayman) Limited. Public disclosure of company beneficiaries in the Cayman Islands is absent.
In previous years the Boyko family built large estates outside Kyiv (in Ivankovychi, in Hnidyn and on the Kyiv Reservoir dam). In addition, in 2020 Boyko’s wife purchased over 50 hectares of land near Kyiv. All of this against the backdrop of Boyko’s lack of official business assets.
His wife only has the Kyiv company Stolychna Nerukhomist (Capital Real Estate), which owns 600 sq m in Kyiv and rents them out (the politician’s last public declaration also includes shares of a plant in occupied Luhansk and several shares of Ukrnafta).
Boyko himself has for years used bodyguards and an escort vehicle, which he also never declared.
Recall that on the third day of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine Yuriy Boyko appeared on the broadcast of Russian propagandist Solovyov. They discussed Solovyov’s claim that “Russia does not shoot at residential neighborhoods of Ukraine” against the backdrop of video showing strikes on residential areas. Yuriy Boyko did not dispute the propagandist’s assertions; on the contrary, he mocked Ukrainian media.
Boyko’s wife did not lose her apartment in central Moscow even after Russia’s occupation of part of Ukraine. At least until 2018 she continued to receive a salary in rubles from the pipe business of Russian Miron Horilovskyi, who later received multi-billion contracts for projects in occupied Crimea.
