Dozens of schemes to circumvent sanctions against Russia are being investigated in the Dnipropetrovsk region
In the Dnipropetrovsk region, law enforcement officials are investigating 24 criminal cases involving possible schemes in which local companies collaborated with Russia to circumvent sanctions. Charges have already been filed against some of the suspects, including businessmen suspected of supplying goods to the aggressor country. The cases involve both large enterprises and assets in the occupied territories.
Valery Prykhozhanov, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Prosecutor’s Office, reported this in an interview with Ukrinform.
A large-scale investigation is underway in the Dnipropetrovsk region regarding possible circumvention of sanctions and business cooperation with Russia. In total, law enforcement agencies are conducting 24 criminal proceedings related to various schemes for supplying goods to the aggressor state.
This was reported by Valery Prykhozhanov, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Prosecutor’s Office. According to him, in 2026, five individuals have already been charged under the article on aiding the aggressor state. One of the cases involved the head of a company from Kryvyi Rih. Investigators claim that after the start of the full-scale invasion, he organized the supply of electrical equipment to Russia in circumvention of sanctions through a company in one of the CIS countries.
According to the prosecutor’s office, more than 100 units of products worth over 11.5 million hryvnias were delivered between 2023 and 2025. The suspect was placed in pretrial detention without the right to bail.
Separately, investigators are examining the operations of businesses in the temporarily occupied territories. This involves companies that either continued operations under Russian control or re-registered their assets under Russian law.
In particular, in March, the owner of a company was charged; according to the investigation, he may have been preparing to transfer funds to representatives of Russian entities. And in April, the founder of another company was charged; he is believed to have re-registered the business in the Russian Federation and transferred assets under the control of the aggressor state.
The prosecutor’s office emphasizes that all such cases are being documented, and the investigation is ongoing. “Work in this area continues; all instances of collaboration with the aggressor state are being documented, and those responsible will be held accountable,” noted the head of the prosecutor’s office.
