Rubizhne Cardboard and Container Plant, a private joint-stock company registered in Kyiv, whose ultimate beneficiary is its director Gennady Minin, plans to pay UAH 363.32 million in dividends from part of its undistributed profits for 2020.
The relevant issue regarding the distribution of undistributed profits and the procedure for paying dividends has been included in the agenda of the general meeting of shareholders of the company on January 5, 2026.
According to the draft decisions of the meeting, it is planned to pay dividends at the rate of UAH 25.94 per share (with a par value of UAH 1.5).
According to YouControl, RKTK’s undistributed profit in 2020 (when the plant was operating in Rubizhne, Luhansk region) amounted to UAH 2.175 billion, and its net income exceeded UAH 3 billion.
According to the National Securities and Stock Market Commission, as of the third quarter of 2025, 99.1939% of the shares are owned by Komelinco Trading Ltd, a company registered in Cyprus.
The shareholders’ meeting of PJSC “RKTK” plans to review the company’s performance for 2022-2024 and approve the reports of the management bodies, as well as approve the procedures for the distribution of profits and repayment of losses for these years.
In particular, it is planned to leave undistributed profits for 2023 in the amount of UAH 74.77 million and for 2024 in the amount of UAH 75.85 million, and to cover the loss of UAH 1 billion 816 million received in 2022 with profits from future years.
Earlier it was reported that before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation, Rubizhne CTP, together with its subsidiary Trypillya Packaging Plant, was the leading manufacturer of corrugated packaging in the country.
After the destruction caused by the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation, the plant in Rubizhne was shut down (the city was subsequently occupied), and the legal entity Rubizhne KTK JSC was re-registered in Kyiv.
According to YouControl, in pre-war 2021, RKTK’s net income reached UAH 5.1 billion, with a net profit of UAH 479.5 million, but by the end of 2022, net income had fallen to almost UAH 1 billion, with losses exceeding UAH 1.8 billion.
In 2023, the English company DS Smith Ukraine Limited left the group of shareholders (previously, it and Komelinco Trading owned equal stakes of 49.5969%).
Currently, the company’s main activity is the production of corrugated paper and cardboard, as well as cardboard boxes. In 2024, the plant’s net income amounted to UAH 1.16 million.
At the same time, Trypilske PK LLC, which is almost 100% owned by Rubizhne KTK and also headed by Minin, is currently ranked second among Ukrainian manufacturers of corrugated packaging after Kyiv KPC, with a production volume of UAH 2.4 billion in January-October.
The Law “On the State Budget of Ukraine for 2026,” which the Verkhovna Rada adopted on December 3, provided for an increase in expenditures to support the agricultural sector by almost 47% compared to the previous year, or by UAH 4.5 billion, to UAH 14.1 billion, according to the Ministry of Finance.
According to the report, the 2026 state budget provides for UAH 9.5 billion to finance subsidies per hectare for frontline territories, insurance of agricultural products, and UAH 0.2 billion of this amount for irrigation/land reclamation.
The 2026 state budget provides for support for farmers (loans, subsidies per 1 hectare, subsidies for cows, goats, and sheep) in the amount of UAH 2.6 billion. The government has allocated UAH 2 billion for the humanitarian demining of agricultural land.
In addition, the state budget provides for the replenishment of the “Affordable Loans 5-7-9%” entrepreneurship development fund with UAH 18 billion, the innovation fund with UAH 7.4 billion, and business support programs with UAH 4.9 billion to support business. UAH 1.9 billion and UAH 0.6 billion will be allocated to the decarbonization and energy efficiency fund, respectively.
The National Association of Lobbyists of Ukraine (NALU) is initiating an official appeal to the European Parliament regarding the rules for registering Ukrainian organizations in the EU Transparency Register.
“The National Association of Lobbyists of Ukraine will soon send an official appeal to the European Parliament requesting clear and unambiguous clarification on which Ukrainian organizations are required to register in the European Union Transparency Register in order to interact with European institutions,” she told the Interfax-Ukraine news agency.
The association will also raise the question of whether Ukrainian entities—public organizations, professional associations, business associations, consulting companies, charitable foundations, and other structures—should undergo additional registration and obtain lobbyist status when working with EU bodies in accordance with the requirements of European legislation.
The association notes that with the entry into force of Ukraine’s Law on Lobbying and the state’s active course towards European integration, the issue of harmonizing Ukrainian lobbying practices with European Union approaches is becoming critically important. The lack of clear instructions and a unified position may create legal uncertainty for Ukrainian organizations seeking to operate within the EU legal framework and represent Ukraine’s interests at the international level.
“We seek to obtain an official explanation so that Ukrainian organizations can act in accordance with European rules, avoid risks, and ensure maximum transparency in their activities. This is also important for protecting Ukraine’s image as a state that is moving towards civilized interaction and open advocacy,” notes the NALU.
The explanations received from the European Parliament are planned to be published and forwarded to Ukrainian institutions, businesses, and public organizations as an official guideline for further work with EU bodies.

According to Sky Development, the total amount of its claims exceeds UAH 3.5 billion.
For their part, Kyivmedpreparat and Galichpharm stated that the information disseminated by Sky Development is “unreliable, manipulative, and shows signs of deliberate discrediting of the companies’ activities.” In particular, both companies denied the existence of “multibillion-dollar debts” to Sky Development. The pharmaceutical companies regarded the statements of Sky Development LLC as “an attempt to illegally create non-existent creditor debt for the purpose of a possible raider takeover of the companies.”
