Large russian businessmen working with the kremlin still own at least 88 companies in Ukraine
In Ukraine, commercial companies that are directly or indirectly owned by 25 russian oligarchs serving the kremlin's military-industrial complex remain unconfiscated.
This is reported by the Trap Aggressor project of the analytical centre StateWatch, citing their own registry of russian oligarchs' assets in Ukraine and the Who Worked for War database of the russian opposition Project outlet.
Among the biggest business owners in Ukraine is russian oligarch Mikhail Fridman. Despite losing Alfa Bank in Ukraine after its recent nationalisation, Fridman directly or indirectly owns stakes in the ownership structure of mobile operator Kyivstar, water production enterprises Morshynska and Myrhorodska, the Alfa Insurance company, etc. Numerous journalistic investigations prove that companies of Mikhail Fridman's russian group Alfa financed russian military factories and also provided insurance services for the National Guard of russia, which is involved in the occupation of Ukrainian territories.
Another russian oligarch, Aleksey Mordashov, continues to own in Ukraine the travel agency Tui and the company Severstal-Dystrybutsia. Aleksey Mordashov's russian corporation Severstal supplied more than ten steel grades to russian military-industrial complex plants.
russian-Greek businessman and owner of the seaport of Thessaloniki in Greece, Ivan Savvidis, owns in Ukraine the plastic products manufacturing company Pentopak and the trading company Atlantis-Pak Ukraine, which were previously arrested and handed over to the Asset Recovery and Management Agency. The federation of Greek-russian businessman Greeks of Russia, funded by Savvidis, transferred all-terrain vehicles and generators to terrorist structures and the leader of the so-called DPR, Denis Pushilin.
Among other well-known surnames of russian oligarchs, who support the aggressor but still have unconfiscated business in Ukraine, are Vagit Alekperov, Alisher Usmanov, Yuri Kovalchuk, etc.
In total, according to Trap Aggressor, large russian businessmen working with the kremlin currently own at least 88 companies in Ukraine operating in such areas as energy, logistics, industry, hotel business, etc.
