DTEK Group invested UAH 11 billion of its own funds in the restoration of thermal power plants (TPPs) and coal mining in 2024.
“UAH 3 billion was spent on the restoration of TPPs. This made it possible to return more than half of the destroyed capacities to operation before the start of the heating season,” the energy holding said in a telegram channel on Friday.
The company invested UAH 7.5 billion in the mines’ operations: capital repairs, equipment upgrades, and modernization of transport. This ensured coal reserves for the stable operation of the stations.
As the company reminded, last year Russia carried out 13 massive attacks on the Ukrainian energy system, 10 of which were aimed at DTEK’s thermal power plants. At the most critical point of the year, 90% of the facilities were destroyed.
As reported, DTEK Energy BV, the holding company of DTEK Energy, ended 2023 with a net profit of UAH 13.675 billion against a net loss of UAH 5.798 billion in 2022.
“In 2023, DTEK Energy also invested about UAH 11 billion in the repair campaign at thermal power plants and Ukrainian coal mining, which is almost twice as much as in 2022, when investments amounted to about UAH 6 billion.

PJSC Ukrnafta has drilled the first well in 13 years at one of its youngest and most promising fields, the company’s press service reports. The company plans to build ten more new wells there – five in 2025 and 2026.
At the same time, the field is expanding its pipeline capacity, as the current infrastructure is not able to handle the expected production.
“We are actively working at one of Ukrnafta’s youngest fields, discovered in 1990. The working conditions are extremely difficult – 1080 meters above sea level, mountainous terrain, lack of sufficient communications. The last time new facilities were built there was in 2011,” said Sergiy Koretsky, the company’s director.
According to him, the company is working at the field with its own rigs, as the market refused to buy them due to the great complexity.
“Ukrnafta is Ukraine’s largest oil producer and operator of a national network of filling stations. In March 2024, the company took over the management of Glusco’s assets and operates 547 filling stations – 462 owned and 85 managed.
The company is implementing a comprehensive program to restore operations and update the format of its filling stations. Since February 2023, the company has been issuing its own fuel coupons and NAFTAKarta cards, which are sold to legal entities and individuals through Ukrnafta-Postach LLC.
“Ukrnafta holds 92 special permits for commercial development of fields. It has 1832 oil and 154 gas production wells on its balance sheet.
Ukrnafta’s largest shareholder is Naftogaz of Ukraine with a 50%+1 share.
In November 2022, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine decided to transfer to the state a share of corporate rights of the company owned by private owners, which is currently managed by the Ministry of Defense.
In December 2024, TAS Insurance Group (Kyiv) paid UAH 183.3 million under the concluded insurance contracts, which is 30.4% higher than the amount of the company’s indemnities for the same month in 2023.

The share of VHI in the company’s claims portfolio amounted to 18.1%, or UAH 33.2 million (+46.9%) in December.
Under other insurance contracts, the company paid UAH 6.62 million (+2.7 times).

According to UkrPapir Association’s statistics provided to Interfax-Ukraine, the company’s output in physical terms increased by 6.1% last year to 32.7 thousand tons.
Also in December, the company increased its production of fluting and testliner by 27.6% by December 2023 and by 95% by November 2024, to 3.7 thousand tons.
Zelenyi Park LLC was registered in 2011 and manufactures products from waste paper, processing up to 72 thousand tons of waste paper annually.
The factory is equipped with Finnish Valmet equipment, which allows it to produce fluting and testliner with a density of 70 to 200 g/sq. m and a roll width of up to 2.8 m.
According to the Clarity Project, the owner of 100% of Zelenyi Park LLC is Cyprus-registered Carton Mill Limited, and the ultimate beneficiaries are ATB Corporation co-owner Gennadiy Butkevych and Volodymyr Shandra (full name is the same as the full name of the former Minister of Industrial Policy (2005-2006) and the former Minister of Emergency Situations (2007-2010) – IF-U).

Ukraine’s largest one dollar store chain Aurora invested UAH 2.5 billion in the development of the chain in Ukraine in 2024, said CEO Taras Panasenko.
On Facebook, he said that the chain’s revenue for the year amounted to UAH 38.5 billion (excluding VAT), with more than 10 million unique customers.
“More than 600 partners of Aurora Multimarket are Ukrainian producers. They supply 46% of the assortment of Ukrainian products to our store shelves. 70% of them are non-food products. Together with our customers, we are giving new life to the Ukrainian light industry. In addition, this means additional billions of hryvnias of added value in Ukraine and tens of thousands of people employed. It is also an export window for Aurora in Romania,” he wrote.
“In 2024, Aurora Multimarket paid UAH 6.4 billion in taxes and fees, including UAH 2 billion in customs duties, UAH 1.6 billion in sales VAT, and UAH 737.3 million in unified social tax.
Local budgets received a total of UAH 643.5 million in personal income tax (PIT). According to Panasenko, Aurora currently employs more than 15,000 people and creates 2-3,000 new jobs every year. The average salary at Aurora in 2024 is significantly higher than the industry average.
“Taxes on the salaries of each store or warehouse are paid to local budgets at the place of operation. So having Aurora nearby is always a plus for the city. For example, due to the fact that the head office is located in Poltava, Aurora is by far the largest taxpayer in the budget of the Poltava territorial community, having paid more than UAH 199 million in personal income tax,” said Panasenko.
The head office of the Aurora retail chain is located in Poltava. “Aurora was founded in 2011 by Lev Zhidenko, Taras Panasenko and Lesya Klymenko. As of October 1, 2024, the chain has 1533 stores in Ukraine and 25 in Romania. The company employs about 14 thousand people.
According to Opendatabot, the owner of Vygidna Kupil LLC, which develops the chain, is Aurorityl Investments Limited of Cyprus, and its beneficiary is Zhydenko. The Cypriot company also owns Prior Development LLC, Seven A LLC, Promyslova 9 LLC, and Tak LLC.
