SSU initiates seizure of assets of Belarusian fuel company involved in financing russian aggression

Among the seized assets are the corporate rights and bank accounts with total value of almost UAH 20 mln (USD 600,000).

According to the SSU, this company specializes in wholesale trade in various fuels. Over the past year, it exported goods worth almost UAH 20 bln (USD 600 mln) to Ukraine. The company has Belarusian state-owned enterprises among its founders. It purchased raw materials from russia and paid taxes to the budgets of both countries.

Due to this, the network is directly related to financing russia’s aggression against Ukraine.

All seized assets have been transferred to the National Agency for Detection, Tracing and Management of Assets Obtained from Corruption and Other Crimes (ARMA).

The SSU detected and documented this criminal activity within the criminal proceedings under two articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine:

  • 110-2.2 (financing of actions committed for the purpose of forcible change or overthrow of constitutional order or seizure of state power, change of borders of the territory or state border of Ukraine);
  • 191.5 (appropriation, embezzlement of property or appropriating it by abuse of office, committed under martial law).

 Podolsk District Prosecutor’s Office of Kyiv carries out procedural supervision of the case.
