Stolar and ENSO: a company halted three residential complexes in Kyiv, and a related structure is building luxury real estate in Dubai
The construction company ENSO, which built residential complexes Poetica, Diadans, and Fjord in Kyiv, has effectively ceased operations. The company’s office is closed, and co-owner and CEO Ramil Mekhtiyev has left Ukraine.
After the start of the full-scale invasion, ENSO stated that construction was forcibly suspended. Later the company announced several times that works would resume, but currently construction of three facilities is effectively halted.
At the end of spring, a message appeared on ENSO’s Instagram page allegedly from the co-owner and CEO Ramil Mekhtiyev. In content, it resembled a farewell letter to investors.
Some investors claim that representatives of the management held an informal meeting with them, during which they allegedly confirmed ENSO’s cessation of activity. They were promised, however, that another company, whose name was not disclosed, could complete the projects. Nevertheless, according to the investors, actual completion work has not begun.
Mekhtiyev himself, according to the investigation authors, left Ukraine in early April. Some former Ukrainian ENSO employees now work in the same-named construction structure in the United Arab Emirates. There they are engaged in building two luxury residential complexes in Dubai.
Enso Investment L.L.C was registered after the full-scale war began. In relation to its creation and activities, according to the investigation, is connected the member of parliament from the former OPZZh, Vadym Stolar.
The company’s office is located in the Dubai complex Boulevard Plaza. The rent for the premises there, according to the data provided, may be about 40 thousand dollars per month.
Currently Enso is actively working on two residential complexes — Enso Jade and Enso Amber. Both projects are located in one of Dubai’s elite districts, and apartment prices start at approximately 400 thousand dollars.
Interestingly, Stolar’s Dubai real estate is being sold by his former OPPZH colleague, Kyiv deputy Yulia Symunina, and her agency Symbol Real Estate. Open sources indicate that among the agency’s main clients are Russian citizens.
At the same time, people from the entourage of former member of parliament Viktor Medvedchuk and film producer Artem Kolyubaev joined structures related to ENSO’s housing projects, according to the investigation.
Some questions also arise regarding financial operations of structures linked to the Mekhtiyev brothers.
After the start of the full-scale war and the introduction of restrictions on currency withdrawal from Ukraine by funds of the Mekhtiyev brothers, the investigation materials claim that permission was obtained to transfer almost 1 million dollars to the United Arab Emirates.
The alleged basis for the currency operation was the purchase of a large batch of meat in Dubai. At the same time, according to the authors, this product did not reach Ukraine.
Moreover, the company of Ramil Mekhtiyev’s brother allegedly organized a 'fake' business trip to Finland for one of the top managers of the National Securities and Stock Market Commission during the New Year holidays. The commission is said to have previously granted permission for the corresponding currency operation.
Thus, the ENSO story goes far beyond halted construction in Kyiv. Against the background of problems with the three Kyiv residential complexes, the related structures continue to develop construction projects in Dubai, and questions arise about ties to Vadym Stolar, people in Viktor Medvedchuk’s circle, and possible financial transactions.
