Million-dollar dividends, offshore companies, and legal disputes: analysis of the financial activities of Oleksii Dubovskyi’s "Ukrainian Energy Exchange"
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 between related entities, and a legal dispute over the withholding of guarantees under an energy contract.
According to the financial statements for the 2025 year, the exchange recorded revenue from sales of 448,12 million UAH, net profit of 195,328 million UAH and interest income of 199,021 million UAH, while paying 388 million UAH in dividends to shareholders. Bank balances at the end of the period amounted to 1,396 billion UAH.
Through the "Ukrainian Energy Exchange" in 2025 year, 2,23 million cubic meters of timber were sold for a total of 9,68 billion UAH. Based on these figures, the company’s equity decreased by 192,916 million UAH. The dividend payments themselves, interest receipts, and changes in equity do not by themselves indicate violations, but their relationship to transaction volumes and cash flows of related entities requires detailed analysis.
Oleksii Dubovskyi controls the exchange through a corporate structure that includes Ukrainian and Cypriot companies. The owner of the "Ukrainian Energy Exchange" is LLC "Takt-Biz," which is wholly owned by Cypriot ENEXSOL LTD.
ENEXSOL LTD was registered in Larnaca on 18 April 2018 and its director is Oleksii Dubovskyi. LLC "Takt-Biz" is headed by Oleksandr Brezytskyi, while the exchange’s manager is Oleksandr Kovalenko. The group also includes LLC "Ukrbusiness Capital," owned by ENEXSOL LTD, whose director is Mykhailo Herbach.
Another company in the group is LLC "Business-Alliance," managed by Anna Shokarieva.
Until 25 December 2025, the shares in the exchange were distributed as follows: 70% held by "Takt-Biz," 10% by "Ukrbusiness Capital" and 20% by "Ukrbusinessconsulting." Later the shares were consolidated into "Takt-Biz." A second important structure is LLC "Ukrainian Clearing House," established on 11 October 2024. Its director is Olena Velyka. 72,49% is owned by the exchange, and 27,51% by ENEXSOL LTD. The authorized capital is 37,246 million UAH.
The clearing house’s financial statements for 2025 year show 63,254 million UAH in interest income from banks and 4,399 million UAH in other financial income. Core operating revenue amounted to only 320 thousand UAH. Other receipts reached 11,057 billion UAH, advance repayments — 10,460 billion UAH, account balances — 638,306 million UAH, and liabilities — 596,61 million UAH. Assessing these figures requires details of the transactions and counterparties.
Because of the connection between the exchange and the clearing house, Oleksii Dubovskyi is in the spotlight regarding the allocation of functions among market participants. The exchange denies placing guarantees for timber contracts on its own deposits, but the collateral is held by the clearing house. This raises questions about the mechanism for storing guarantees, accruing interest, and control over participants’ funds.
On 28 February 2025 the National Securities and Stock Market Commission announced the transfer of clearing functions from the "Ukrainian Universal Exchange" to the "Ukrainian Clearing House." The "Ukrainian Universal Exchange" is chaired by Serhii Hladkyi, and its owner is Oleksandr Makovyi. Since April 2025, for certain energy contracts a collateral requirement of 5% has applied.
The combination of trading infrastructure and clearing services within structures under common control can create conflicts of interest. This requires transparent rules on the management of guarantees and the accounting of income. The National Securities and Stock Market Commission is headed by Ruslan Mahomedov, and the commodity markets direction is overseen by Arsen Iliin.
A separate legal episode concerns LLC "VolynEnergoPostach," which transferred 82,481 million UAH in collateral to the exchange. After signing an agreement with Energoatom for 1,064 billion UAH, the exchange committee withheld 9,576 million UAH. Funds were transferred to the seller on 12 June. On 29 January 2026 the court found the sanction unlawful and ordered the withheld amount returned along with inflation losses and interest. On 7 July the Supreme Court upheld the decision.
The court result applies to a specific dispute and does not establish violations in the exchange’s other operations. Another issue concerns the fulfillment of forward timber contracts. Of 11 participants who breached terms, nine lost part of their guarantees.
LLC "Ukrainian Sawmills" entered into contracts for 62 thousand cubic meters of pine worth 415 million UAH, but fulfilled only 21% of obligations; the unfulfilled remainder was valued at 328 million UAH. LLC "Verba-VV" entered contracts for 20 thousand cubic meters worth 141 million UAH, fulfilled 49%, and the remainder amounted to 72 million UAH. A different approach was applied to these companies than to some other violators.
From LLC "Agropromtechcentr" 5,7 million UAH in guarantees were withheld, from LLC "Lviv-Pak" — 1,246 million UAH. LLC "Buk Trans Chernivtsi," LLC "Magekom," LLC "Ruyevit Kom" and PE "Energobudivnyk" were suspended from trading for three months. At the same time, "Ukrainian Sawmills" and "Verba-VV" are featured in criminal proceeding No.42025000000000376 dated 7 May 2025 under Part 2 of Article 364 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The investigation is examining the actions of officials of the Polissia Forestry Office during the sale of timber to these companies outside exchange procedures.
To draw substantiated conclusions about the operations of companies related to Oleksii Dubovskyi, primary financial documents, explanations of the origin of income, and official positions from the companies and the regulator are needed. The figures presented alone do not prove the siphoning off or legalization of funds.
