The Supreme Anti-Corruption Court has upheld the claim of the Ministry of Justice to nationalise the Ukrainian assets of sanctioned Russian oligarch Eduard Khudaynatov, the SBU reports.
The court has confiscated 100% of his share in the authorised capital of Oil Company Alliance-Ukraine LLC, which is estimated at almost half a billion hryvnyas.
According to the investigation, Khudaynatov controlled the Ukrainian oil trader through a number of offshore companies and controlled entities. In this way, he hoped to avoid the nationalisation of this asset after the full-scale invasion of Russia, while continuing to make significant profits from the Ukrainian oil and gas market.
The investigation also found that Khudaynatov is one of Putin's confidants, heads the Russian oil and gas company NNK-Group and was a member of the Rosneft board.
These two companies are among the largest "sponsors" of the war against Ukraine. They regularly supply fuels and lubricants to the military-industrial complex and occupation groups of Russia.
Both companies also transfer billions of rubles to the budget of the aggressor country every month.
Currently, the investigation is ongoing within the framework of criminal proceedings initiated by the SBU investigators under Part 4 of Article 110-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (financing of actions committed with the aim of violent change or overthrow of the constitutional order or seizure of state power, change of the boundaries of the territory or state border of Ukraine) to bring the Russian oligarch to justice for crimes against our country.
