In Ukraine, the property of Russians and Belarus was arrested in the amount of UAH 53 billion

During the war with Russia, the search, arrest and confiscation of assets related to the aggressor continue in Ukraine. And although it has been confiscated for billions, it is still about the tip of the iceberg. In order to control the Ukrainian economy, Russian business left a deep mark in Ukraine. Accordingly, the value of assets related to the aggressor country, which after the start of a full-scale invasion in Ukraine is searched, arrested and confiscated, must be very significant.

However, the amount in which the arrested property is still estimated, the focus in its review "Great Confiscation. What is waiting for Russian and Belarusian assets in Ukraine" compares with the pinnacle of the iceberg. On the basis of reports of the Economic Security Bureau about the arrest of assets, Dmitry Goryunov, the senior economist of the Center for Economic Strategy (CES) estimated that the value of the assets arrested in Ukraine in Ukraine is about UAH 53 billion.

"In particular, hotels with a total area of ​​30 thousand square meters were arrested in Lviv and Kyiv, with a cost of almost UAH 1 billion. Gives an example one of the demonstration cases Vitaliy Sokurrenko, lawyer of JSC Legal Strategy. According to focus, it is about Libid hotels in Kiev and "Dniester" in Lviv, owned by Russian Natalia Selivanov.

For his part, the governing partner of the Advocacy Association "Chudovsky and partners", the lawyer Igor Chudovsky cites as an example of the arrest of the AMIK gas station network and its assets for more than UAH 2 billion. Previously, these filling stations worked under the brand of the Russian company Lukoil.

The National Agency of Ukraine for the detection, search and management of assets received from corruption and other crimes (ARMA), where the arrested property is transferred to the management, focus reported that the value of assets received at the disposal of the agency is measured by tens of billions of hryvnias.

The ARMA specifies that it is a very approximate amount so far, since their professional assets are not carried out during the transfer of assets, and law enforcement officers focus on average market prices. Igor Chudovsky states that the value of the arrested property is determined during the arrest by means of forensic, forensic, forensic, forensic and forensic and forensic examinations.

The search for assets related to the aggressor is ongoing and possibly a significant share is still hidden by nominal owners. According to Vitaliy Sokurenko, finding information about such companies - the work of analysts who view materials in open sources and registers, analyze closed data, compare, check and draw conclusions. Here Sokurrenko advises to pay attention to foreign investments that came to Ukraine from offshore - Cyprus, Panama, Virginian islands.
