Law enforcement officers have eliminated another scheme to circumvent sanctions on the export of Ukrainian products to Russia. The management of a chemical enterprise in Cherkassy was exposed for collaborating with an aggressor country, the SBU reported on Wednesday, January 22.

It was established that representatives of the chemical plant established wholesale supplies of fertilizers and minerals for the Russian agricultural industry. During 2022-2024, they illegally transported 216 tons of products worth $1.8 million.

According to the intelligence service, to secretly transport Ukrainian goods to the Russian Federation, the defendants used an affiliated company in the Middle East: the products were first sent to a Middle Eastern intermediary, and from there they were re-exported to Russia.

“Among the key Russian customers were some of the largest companies in the agro-industrial complex of the aggressor country - Shchelkovo Agrokhim and Alterit,” the SBU said.

The head of the Cherkassy company was informed of suspicion under the article of aiding the aggressor state (h. 1 tbsp. 111-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). All participants in the “scheme” are identified. The perpetrators face up to 12 years in prison with confiscation of property.
