The private enterprise “Agrofirm ‘Dzvony’ (Lviv region) has begun construction of a modern feed mill with a capacity of 240 tons of product per day, according to the website of the design and construction company ”CHIF.”
“Establishing our own feed production will allow us to fully control feed quality, become independent of external suppliers, and systematically develop our livestock operations. We are building this facility not just for a few years, but for decades to come,” said Zinoviy Maksymyshyn, director and owner of “Agrofirma Dzvony.”
According to the report, the new complex will enable the farm to create a closed production cycle: from growing its own grain to producing feed for livestock. The plant’s technological equipment will include crushing, mixing, micro-dosing, and granulation lines, as well as a soybean processing line and a system for spraying liquids onto granules. The facility is being built in collaboration with the Dutch equipment manufacturer Van Aarsen.
According to Van Aarsen’s regional sales manager Toby Janssen, this plant will become a modern, European-standard production facility.
“We see that Ukrainian entrepreneurs continue to invest in development even under the difficult conditions of war, and this commands our sincere respect,” he emphasized.
Agrofirm “Dzvony” (village of Bolotnia, Lviv Oblast), founded in 1999, cultivates approximately 9,000 hectares of land in the Zolochiv and Lviv districts of Lviv Oblast, as well as 200 hectares in Ternopil Oblast. Primary crops: winter rapeseed, wheat, and soybeans. The production infrastructure includes an elevator complex with a simultaneous storage capacity of 42,000 tons of grain. The company also specializes in vegetable farming, allocating approximately 120 hectares annually for this purpose (cabbage, carrots, beets). A dedicated storage facility with a capacity of 3,500 tons has been built for their storage.
According to data from the Opendatabot service, the agricultural company’s net profit for 2025 increased 3.2-fold compared to 2024—to 222.69 million UAH. The company’s revenue for the reporting period amounted to 595.94 million UAH, and the value of its assets increased by 36.2%—to 1.3 billion UAH. The number of employees at the end of the year was 126. The ultimate beneficiary is Zinoviy Maksymyshyn.
“Nova Poshta,” Ukraine’s leading express delivery service, has invested over 1 billion UAH in security since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion, an investment that has helped save 951 lives, according to the company’s CEO, Yevhen Tafiychuk.
“War has long since become the norm. That’s why we aren’t waiting; we’re investing in security now,” he said at the NOVA Summit, which took place in Kyiv this week, according to a correspondent for Interfax-Ukraine.
According to data provided by Tafiychuk, since the start of the full-scale invasion, there have been 72,620 air raid alerts; 12 logistics hubs and 28 company branches have been destroyed, and another 16 hubs and 152 branches have been damaged.
For safety reasons, Nova Poshta has built 1,244 protective structures of various types at its facilities to ensure the safety of employees and customers, including 779 metal shelters, 438 reinforced concrete shelters, and 27 underground shelters.
“The strategy is very simple—we need to ensure continuous movement, because if you’re moving, it’s very difficult to hit you. To achieve this, we design our logistics so that a package is practically never stationary,” the CEO noted.
According to him, to ensure customer safety, the company constantly monitors the situation at its facilities with the help of an AI (artificial intelligence) agent.
“We know where and how many customers are currently in our service areas. And if this number exceeds our standards, we intervene immediately: we immediately reinforce our operational team, strategically develop the region, install parcel lockers, and open mobile branches,” explained Tafiychuk.
He added that in the event of damage or strikes, there is a “Plan B” for the rapid deployment of a mobile branch, which ensures service stability. He clarified that currently, Nova Poshta has 43 mobile branches and 16 backup locations in the frontline zone for branches, and a mobile depot can be organized within eight days.
In addition, the executive added, the company has five backup depots in Dnipro, Poltava, Kharkiv, Kyiv, and Odesa.
Tafiychuk also emphasized that security begins with threat detection, which is why Nova Poshta has established a control center that operates around the clock and continuously monitors the situation both in the air and on the ground.
“Through our system of acoustic vibration sensors, we are aware of absolutely everything happening in the air. We know how many drones and missiles there are, where they’re coming from, and where they’re heading. If we know, we can respond. And that’s what we do through our alert and response system,” the CEO said.
According to him, this is a three-tiered system. The first tier is visual, via monitors. The second is auditory: “Nova Poshta” has more than 350 sound systems that help inform employees and customers promptly and quickly. The third layer is informational: more than 70 Telegram channels and over 100 groups on Signal, so every division, branch, and terminal has its own channel where it receives security updates specific to its unit.
“It’s important to be confident that security protocols are actually being followed and can be followed. Our AI agent helps us with this; after every incident, it analyzes the situation, identifies who failed to comply, and we are constantly making changes and improving,“ noted Tafiychuk.
”Nova Poshta” currently has 51,500 service points in Ukraine, including 15,900 branches and 36,500 parcel terminals. In 2025, the company increased its revenue by 21% compared to 2024—to more than 54 billion UAH—and its profit amounted to 2.6 billion UAH, compared to 2.5 billion UAH the previous year. The number of parcels and shipments delivered in 2025 grew by 7.4%—from 486 million to 522 million, including international shipments—by 52.6%, from 19 million to 29 million.

According to the report, at the end of last year, Agroliga’s free cash flow stood at EUR0.4 million, compared to EUR2.69 million a year earlier, due to high balances and a negative cash flow from operating activities (EUR7.06 million), which was offset by increased borrowing.
The document notes that the group’s current development and financial results are not considered satisfactory because it operates in an unstable environment linked to the war and other crises in Ukraine and around the world.
It is also noted that, taking into account the increase in foreign exchange losses, Agroliga’s total loss for 2025 amounted to EUR1.43 million, compared to EUR2.38 million a year earlier.
The Board of Directors does not recommend paying dividends, as the group is operating at a loss due to the war in Ukraine, the report states.
According to the report, Agroliga’s largest revenue streams last year came from the sale of sunflower oil—EUR27.47 million (EUR38.01 million a year earlier)—and granulated meal—EUR9.37 million (EUR12.56 million). Energy sales fell to EUR 1.25 million (EUR 2.98 million), but revenue from processing and agricultural services rose to EUR 3.87 million (EUR 1.25 million).
Geographically, sales in Ukraine amounted to EUR14.29 million (EUR20.18 million a year earlier), in Poland – EUR7.61 million (EUR18.82 million), and in Switzerland – EUR15.46 million (EUR8.00 million a year earlier).

Ukraine is interested not only in developing partnerships with countries in Europe, North America, and the Persian Gulf, but also with other regions of the world, particularly Africa, Asia, and Latin America, stated Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga.
According to him, Ukraine’s unique defense capabilities and experience in protecting lives are of great interest to many countries around the world. “Countries around the world are watching developments in the Middle East and seeing just how cost-effective and technologically advanced Ukraine’s capabilities are,” Sibiga noted in a post published on social media platform X.
The minister emphasized that years of brutal Russian war have brought immense suffering and destruction to the Ukrainian people, but at the same time have forced Ukraine to develop its own unprecedented strength. Modern Ukraine is a guarantor of security and a reliable partner for those who share its values and seek to protect life from any threats.
“From this new perspective, it is also difficult to understand why any decision-maker in any NATO member country would prefer to have Ukrainian strength outside the Alliance rather than integrated into it,” the minister added.
