Petro Dyminskyi, a former member of parliament and businessman, has been outside Ukraine since August 2017 after a fatal car crash in the Lviv region in which 31-year-old Nataliya Tril died. While the crash investigation remains unfinished, structures linked to the Dyminskyi family carried out multimillion transactions through Cyprus, Belarus, Serbia, and Latvia. Among them were the sale of assets related to the ZIK television channel for $27,5 million and financing of foreign companies. In Ukraine attention has focused on corporate overlaps with the electronics trade business: Speshltech LLC reported 2,297 billion UAH in revenue for 2025 year, but direct ownership of the Yabko chain by Petro Dyminskyi is not documentarily confirmed.
On 18 August 2017, a Mercedes S65 AMG from Petro Dyminskyi’s motorcade collided with an Opel Astra on the Lviv–Krakovets highway. Nataliya Tril died as a result of the crash. The businessman’s bodyguard Andriy Borshch initially took responsibility for the accident, but a repeat DNA test excluded him as the driver of the car. In December 2017 authorities announced suspicion against Dyminskyi under part two of article 286 of the Criminal Code, concerning violation of traffic rules that caused the victim’s death. Three bodyguards were notified of suspicion for giving false testimony, media report. 22 August 2017 Dyminskyi left Ukraine. He was later declared wanted. Interpol did not publish a Red Notice, which would imply international cooperation on arrest, and in 2023 it again refused to circulate one. According to an investigation by NGL.media, conducted in cooperation with international journalistic organizations, the Ukrainian investigation remains effectively blocked due to the suspect’s residence abroad and problems with international search. This does not mean the case was closed or Dyminskyi was acquitted. In November 2017 Petro Dyminskyi received Serbian citizenship, and his wife Olena in 2020. According to journalistic investigation, the businessman also purchased real estate in a suburb of Athens for 280 thousand euros and obtained a Greek residence permit. Later he was linked to being in Latvia. In February 2019 the Kyiv Court of Appeal canceled the decision on Dyminskyi’s in‑absentia arrest. The combination of these circumstances explains why the businessman’s many years abroad have not resulted in his return to Ukraine. A separate strand of Dyminskyi’s financial history is the sale of media assets. In 2019 the Cypriot Ablemark Limited, linked to the family trust of the businessman, received $27,5 million from a deal to sell Pro Radio company, which owned assets related to the ZIK channel. The buyer was the Cypriot Turul Investments Limited, linked to Taras Kozak. Documents show the initial deal amount was $165 thousand, but on the same day it was increased to $27,5 million. Funds were credited to an account at Belarus’s Absolutbank. After ZIK came under the control of Taras Kozak’s structures, the channel was merged with “112 Ukraina” and NewsOne. In February 2021 the National Security and Defense Council imposed sanctions, after which broadcasting of these channels ceased. The ZIK sale deal demonstrates the scale of international financial operations of structures linked to Petro Dyminskyi after his departure from Ukraine. Financial operations were not limited to the media market. According to journalistic materials, in February 2020 Ablemark Limited provided a zero‑interest loan to Cypriot Jikinto Limited in the amount of 2,6 million euros. Later Jikinto obtained permits in Serbia to trade arms and supplied weapons to the Ministry of Defense of Uganda worth more than 10,3 million euros. Another approximately 17 million euros via Vulkanit Limited were directed to Latvian companies New Fuels RSEZ SIA and Energy Resources CHP RSEZ SIA. Roman Vdovychenko appeared in the corporate governance of these companies. Separately Ablemark lent to structures linked to Marian Lyubich amounts of $562 thousand and 1,6 million euros. These operations by themselves do not prove illegality of the funds, but show the geographic scope of financial ties of the family companies.
The Ukrainian direction is linked to electronics trade and the Yabko chain. According to open financial reports, Speshltech LLC, registered in 2024, in 2025 reported 2 billion 297,11 million UAH in revenue, 77,426 million UAH net profit, and had assets of 604,148 million UAH. The company’s liabilities were about 510 million UAH. The director is listed as Anna Bryzhak, owners — Vitaliy Turkovets and Mykola Kahnych. Anna Bryzhak’s corporate history contains another link to the Dyminskyi family: she previously received V-113 LLC from Zhanna Dyminska, the businessman’s daughter. Journalists also noted matches in registration addresses and the history of transfers of corporate rights. However, such overlaps are not automatic proof that Petro Dyminskyi controls Speshltech or the Yabko chain. Establishing ultimate beneficiary control requires documents on ownership, management, and actual cash flows. The Yabko chain has previously come under scrutiny over questions about tax accounting of sales, splitting activity among entrepreneurs, and the origin of electronics. After inspections the company reported paying an additional 60 million UAH in VAT and transferring 5 million UAH to the needs of the Armed Forces. In another proceeding West UAY company, formerly known as Yabko UAY, repaid about 15 million UAH in tax debt. Speshltech simultaneously contested some penalties in courts and said decisions were in its favor. According to the chain’s own reports, in 2025 Yabko paid 449 million UAH in taxes and fees, and in the first half of 2026 paid another 356 million UAH. These figures reflect declared tax payments by the company but do not by themselves establish its corporate link to Petro Dyminskyi. At the same time, the transfer of a corporate asset from Zhanna Dyminska to Anna Bryzhak is grounds for a separate verification of ownership history when establishing possible links between the businesses. Thus, Petro Dyminskyi has now been outside Ukraine for nine years, remaining a suspect in the fatal crash case. At the same time, documents on Ablemark Limited’s operations indicate multimillion transactions related to the sale of media assets and financing of foreign companies. The Ukrainian corporate trail leads to a business with multi‑billion revenue, but available data do not confirm Dyminskyi’s direct control over Yabko. Key elements for further assessment remain the results of the crash investigation, the structure of ultimate company ownership, and documentary evidence of the movement of funds between related enterprises.
