Law enforcement agencies are investigating the case involving owner of the trademark “Domino,” Anton Shukhnin, who, in a corporate conflict with The Yard founder Yana Rudkovska, allegedly resorted to illegal methods, reportedly using blackmail and threats against the entrepreneur. This was reported by a source in law enforcement.
This was reported by the outlet "FRAZA."
As the interlocutor explains, the woman has long faced pressure from Anton Shukhnin. At the same time, an information campaign was launched against her aimed at personal pressure on the entrepreneur and intended to harm her business reputation. "There are currently no criminal cases against Rudkovska," — explains the source in law enforcement.
Earlier Rudkovska stated that the company has receipts and documents confirming that they officially transferred a deposit to Anton Shukhnin, and that all payments were made openly and can be documented.
Below we provide photocopies of documents proving official payments that confirm the transfer of funds to Anton Shukhnin.

Confirmation of transfer of funds to Anton Shukhnin
According to law enforcement information, after the return of funds Shukhnin allegedly received an official refusal of further cooperation. The Yard then decided not to sign a contract with him due to disagreement with his business methods.
Recall that information has previously appeared about Shukhnin’s conflicts with landlords and tenants.
"Shukhnin himself repeatedly spoke about a large number of court cases and claimed he won them. If today such statements are being used for pressure or intimidation to obtain premises on Lypky, then this already crosses into the criminal sphere," — the source said.
Shukhnin has likely been conducting a targeted campaign to discredit Yana Rudkovska and The Yard for a long time.
The entrepreneur had previously spoken about threats to her personal safety. After a series of publications and Shukhnin’s statements, she said she began to fear for her life.
Recall that the conflict between the parties began over the rental of a commercial space. According to The Yard, Shukhnin was interested in that particular location because of the flow of the target audience and a competing store that has long operated nearby.
Rudkovska claimed that after she refused cooperation, Shukhnin tried to obtain a different decision. At first, according to her, he reached out through mutual acquaintances. Later, pressure and threats began. The Yard stated that the company was thus being drawn into a corporate confrontation between the two.
One of the likely targets of the recent media attack was the house in Dubai that Rudkovska is currently building. The video showed an allegedly unstarted construction that investors supposedly funded but never received housing for. However, in reality the house, sources say, is in an active stage of construction and will be commissioned in the second quarter of 2027.

"Rudkovska has her own work, her own projects and concrete matters; right now she is focused on building the house in Dubai, but someone, we know who, is trying to intimidate investors and convince them that the house is not being built. The person spends money on media attacks and placing news about charity and helping people. Real philanthropists do this not for articles, photos or pretty headlines, but for the people themselves, their lives and safety," — the source said.
