Billions in guarantees and offshore dividends: how the financial empire of Ukrainian Energy Exchange beneficiary Oleksiy Dubovskyi is structured
388 million UAH in dividends, 199 million UAH in bank interest and billions in the accounts of controlled companies. Oleksiy Yevhenovych Dubovskyi is the head of the exchange committee and the beneficiary of LLC "Ukrainian Energy Exchange" (EDRPOU 37027819), through which in 2025 year 2,23 million cubic meters of timber were sold for 9,68 billion UAH.
According to the reports, with revenue of 448,12 million UAH and profit of 195,328 million UAH the exchange paid 388 million UAH in dividends and received 199,021 million UAH in interest. Equity decreased by 192,916 million UAH, and bank balances reached 1,396 billion UAH.
The exchange (Kyiv, Khreshchatyk, 44) is owned by LLC "Takt-Biz" (EDRPOU 38728012), which is fully owned by ENEXSOL LTD (HE 382715), registered on 18 April 2018 in Larnaca. Its director is Dubovskyi. The exchange is run by Oleksandr Kovalenko; Takt-Biz is run by Oleksandr Brezytskyi. ENEXSOL also owns LLC "Ukrbusiness Capital" (EDRPOU 34429480), director Mykhailo Herbych. Until 25 December 2025 the shares in the exchange were 70% in Takt-Biz, 10% in Ukrbusiness Capital and 20% in Ukrbusinessconsulting; later they were consolidated into Takt-Biz. The group includes LLC "Business-Alliance" (EDRPOU 32266443), director Anna Shokareva.
The second financial hub is LLC "Ukrainian Clearing House" (EDRPOU 45539058), established on 11 October 2024, director Olena Velyka. The exchange owns 72,49%, ENEXSOL — 27,51%, capital — 37,246 million UAH. In 2025 the company received 63,254 million UAH in bank interest and 4,399 million UAH in other financial income on core revenue of only 320 thousand UAH. Other receipts — 11,057 billion UAH, return of advances — 10,460 billion UAH, bank balances — 638,306 million, liabilities — 596,61 million UAH. The exchange denies placing forest guarantees on its deposits, but the collateral comes to the clearing house. The origin of the interest and cash flows require verification for possible diversion and legalization of funds.
28 February 2025 the National Securities and Stock Market Commission confirmed the transfer of settlement functions to the clearing house from the independent "Ukrainian Universal Exchange" (EDRPOU 25158707) of Oleksandr Makovyi, director Serhii Hladkyi. Dubovskyi’s structure received servicing of accounts, guarantees and obligations of the two exchanges. The regulator is headed by Ruslan Mahomedov; commodity markets are overseen by Arsen Iliin (decree No.155/2021). Since April 2025 a 5-percent collateral requirement for certain energy contracts has been in force. Trading and clearing are under common ultimate control, creating a risk of conflict of interest.
In case No.910/9704/25 LLC "Volynenerhopostach" (EDRPOU 44690670) transferred 82,481 million UAH of collateral to the exchange. After a deal with Energoatom (EDRPOU 24584661) for 1,064 billion UAH the exchange committee by protocol No.1978 dated 10 June 2025 withheld 9,576 million UAH, transferring them to the seller on 12 June. On 29 January 2026 the court recognized the sanction as unlawful, ordering the return of the funds, 76 608 UAH of inflation losses and interest. On 7 July the Supreme Court upheld the decision.
According to an EcoFactor investigation, of 11 forward contract violators nine lost part of their guarantees, and LLC "Ukrainian Sawmills" (EDRPOU 39414678), director Dmytro Bozheniuk, and LLC "Verba-VV" (EDRPOU 39231747), director Tetiana Polyachuk, were apparently released for "valid reasons." The former concluded contracts for 62 thousand cubic meters of pine for 415 million UAH, performed 21%, remainder — 49 thousand cubic meters worth 328 million UAH. The latter — 20 thousand cubic meters for 141 million UAH, performance 49%, remainder 72 million UAH.
