Businessman Yevheniy Yermakov, who is one of the three co-owners of the ATB supermarket chain, spent approximately 100 million dollars over the past two years of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine to purchase a yacht and an airplane.
This was reported by the international investigative bureau Absolution.
According to their data, Yermakov indirectly owns the superyacht Serena (IMO number: 9967691), launched on 27 August 2024 at the well-known Dutch shipyard Heesen. The businessman acquired it at the beginning of 2025. The specialist site YachtAhoy values it at 45 million dollars. And it names Yevheniy Yermakov as the owner.
Serena is 55 meters long. It can accommodate 12 guests and 13 crew members. Here is an excerpt from the yacht’s description by the manufacturer:
“The owner’s cabins are located on the main deck in the forward section and include a lounge and office space, a full-beam spacious cabin with a veranda, two large walk-in wardrobes ‘his and hers,’ and a large bathroom. The lower deck houses four guest cabins: two double cabins with beds placed athwartships for optimal walking space, and two single cabins with additional Pullman berths. Each cabin boasts its own bathroom with unique marble in different colors for each cabin. On the bridge deck there is a gym that can easily be converted into a cabin if needed.”
The vessel sails under the flag of the Cayman Islands but is registered to the Cypriot company SLR Solaria International Holding. The company’s directors are Yevheniy Yermakov himself, his wife Tetiana, and his son Vladyslav.
SLR Solaria International Holding owns not only the yacht but also a private business jet model Bombardier BD-700 Global Express, year of manufacture 2024. It can also carry up to 13 passengers plus crew. Aviation market experts estimate the price of a new aircraft of this type at 50-60 million dollars. Last year the plane was placed under the operational management of the company Union Aviation.
Presumably, Yevheniy Yermakov’s earnings allow him to make such purchases, but in a country at war with an aggressor, it is somewhat triggering.
In addition to the plane and yacht, the Yermakov family owns real estate in the United States, France, and Austria, some of which was also purchased in recent years. In particular, the son (Vladyslav Yermakov) bought luxury apartments in Miami, and the daughter (Khrystyna Stupak) in Vienna. Yevheniy Yermakov’s son-in-law is former Kyiv Regional Council deputy and now widely quoted military expert Ivan Stupak.
