Oleksii Dubovskyi, chairman of the exchange committee and beneficiary of LLC “Ukrainian Energy Exchange,” has come under scrutiny due to the company’s financial indicators, movement of funds among related entities, and a legal dispute over withholding guarantees under an energy contract. According to the financial statements for the 2025 year, the exchange recorded 448,12 million UAH of revenue from sales, 195,328 million UAH of profit, and 199,021 million UAH of interest income, while paying 388 million UAH in dividends. Its bank accounts held 1,396 billion UAH at the end of the reporting period.
Through the “Ukrainian Energy Exchange” in 2025 year, 2,23 million cubic meters of timber were sold with a total value of 9,68 billion UAH. According to these figures, the company’s equity decreased by 192,916 million UAH over the year, media report. Dividend payments, interest receipts, and changes in equity by themselves do not indicate wrongdoing, but their relationship to transaction volumes and the financial flows of related companies warrant detailed analysis. Oleksii Dubovskyi is connected to the exchange through a corporate structure that includes companies registered in Ukraine and Cyprus. The owner of the “Ukrainian Energy Exchange” is LLC “Takt-Biz,” which is wholly owned by the Cypriot ENEXSOL LTD. The company was registered in Larnaca on 18 April 2018, and its director is listed as Oleksii Dubovskyi. “Takt-Biz” is headed by Oleksandr Brezytskyi, while the exchange’s manager is Oleksandr Kovalenko. The related corporate group also includes LLC “Ukrbiznes Capital,” whose owner is listed as ENEXSOL LTD. The director of the Ukrainian company is Mykhailo Herbache. Another group entity is LLC “Business-Alliance,” managed by Anna Shokareva. Until 25 December 2025, shares in the “Ukrainian Energy Exchange” were distributed among “Takt-Biz” with 70%, “Ukrbiznes Capital” with 10%, and “Ukrbiznesconsulting” with 20%. Later the shares were consolidated in “Takt-Biz.” Another important element of this structure is LLC “Ukrainian Clearing House,” established on 11 October 2024. Its director is Olena Velyka. According to the data, 72,49% of the company belongs to the “Ukrainian Energy Exchange,” and 27,51% to ENEXSOL LTD. The charter capital is 37,246 million UAH. The clearing house’s financial statements for 2025 show 63,254 million UAH of interest income from banks and an additional 4,399 million UAH of other financial income. At the same time, the company’s core revenue amounted to only 320 thousand UAH. Other receipts reached 11,057 billion UAH, advance repayments were 10,460 billion UAH, bank account balances were 638,306 million UAH, and liabilities were 596,61 million UAH. Evaluating these figures requires transaction-level detail, information about counterparties, and explanations of the economic nature of the receipts. Because of the affiliation between the exchange and the clearing house, Oleksii Dubovskyi is at the center of attention regarding the allocation of functions among market participants. According to available information, the exchange denies placing guarantees for timber contracts on its own deposits, while collateral receipts are directed to the clearing house. This does not prove unlawful movement of funds, but it raises questions about the mechanism for storing guarantees, interest accrual, distribution of financial results, and control over participants’ funds. On 28 February 2025 the National Securities and Stock Market Commission reported transferring the clearing functions of the independent “Ukrainian Universal Exchange” to the “Ukrainian Clearing House.” The “Ukrainian Universal Exchange” is led by Serhii Hladkyi, and its owner is listed as Oleksandr Makovyi. As a result, the clearing house received functions for servicing settlements, guarantees, and obligations of market participants. Since April 2025, for certain energy contracts collateral in the amount of 5% has been applied.
The combination of trading infrastructure and clearing services within structures under common ultimate control can create conflict-of-interest risks. That does not mean such a conflict has been established, but it requires transparent rules regarding guarantee management, income accrual, and participant access to settlement infrastructure. The NSSMC is headed by Ruslan Mahomedov, and the commodity markets direction is overseen by Arsen Iliin. A separate court episode concerns LLC “Volynenergopostach,” which transferred 82,481 million UAH of collateral to the exchange. After concluding an agreement with Energoatom for 1,064 billion UAH, the exchange committee by protocol No. 1978 of 10 June 2025 withheld 9,576 million UAH. Funds were transferred to the seller on 12 June. On 29 January 2026 the court found the applied sanction unlawful and ordered the withheld amount returned, 76 608 UAH of inflation losses, and interest. On 7 July the Supreme Court left this decision in force. The court outcome applies to the specific dispute and by itself does not establish violations in the exchange’s other operations. Another issue arose around fulfillment of forward timber contracts. According to the EcoFactor investigation, of 11 participants who breached contract terms, nine lost part of their guarantees. LLC “Ukrainian Sawmills” concluded contracts for 62 thousand cubic meters of pine worth 415 million UAH but fulfilled 21% of obligations; the unfulfilled remainder was valued at 328 million UAH. LLC “Verba-VV” contracted for 20 thousand cubic meters worth 141 million UAH, fulfilled 49%, and its remainder was 72 million UAH. According to the publication, a different approach was applied to these companies than to some other violators. The reasons for that decision require documentary confirmation. According to the materials, LLC “Agropromtekhcentr” had 5,7 million UAH of guarantees withheld, LLC “Lviv-Pak” — 1,246 million UAH. LLC “Buk Trans Chernivtsi,” LLC “Magekom,” LLC “Ruevit kom,” and private enterprise “Energobudivnyk” were suspended from trading for three months. At the same time, “Ukrainian Sawmills” and “Verba-VV” are mentioned in criminal proceeding No. 42025000000000376 of 7 May 2025 under part two of article 364 of the Criminal Code. According to the court document, the investigation is checking the actions of officials of the Poliskyi Forestry Office during timber sales to these companies outside exchange procedures. Being named in proceedings does not mean guilt has been proven. The exchange’s financial indicators, the clearing house’s activities, the handling of guarantee funds, and legal disputes are separate matters that require individual verification. To draw substantiated conclusions about operations of companies related to Oleksii Dubovskyi, original financial documents, explanations of the origin of interest income and receipts, and official positions from the companies and the regulator are needed. The figures presented by themselves do not prove asset extraction or money laundering.
