DTEK Energy increased tax payments to 16.9 bln

According to the results of 2024, DTEK Energy companies paid 16.9 billion UAH in taxes to budgets of all levels, which is more than 14% higher than in 2023 (14.8 billion UAH), the operating holding reported.

“Our priority remains the rapid restoration of TPP capacities damaged and destroyed by shelling, preparation for summer consumption peaks and the next heating season. But despite the war, the company is fulfilling its obligations to the state,” said DTEK Energy CEO Alexander Fomenko.

In 2024, the company’s own investments in repairs, restoration of thermal power plants, and Ukrainian coal production amounted to UAH 11 billion.

“Thanks in large part to this, the restoration of thermal power generation capacity has been and continues to be carried out non-stop, and miners have managed to put 26 new coal seams into operation last year and another seven since the beginning of this year,” the company emphasized.

In total, in 2022-2024, DTEK Energy companies paid UAH 44 billion in taxes to budgets at various levels.
At the same time, the DTEK group itself paid UAH 41 billion to budgets at all levels in 2024 and became the largest taxpayer among Ukrainian companies at the end of last year.

As reported, DTEK Energy BV, the holding company of DTEK Energy, ended 2023 with a net profit of UAH 13.675 billion, compared to a net loss of UAH 5.798 billion in 2022.

Ukrainian dairy industry increases processing and construction of farms

Despite losses in eastern Ukraine, dairy production is not stopping but shifting to central and western regions, said Vitaliy Koval, Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine, at the conference “Dairy Industry: Ukraine – EU.”

The minister noted that 125 dairy farms are currently being built or modernized in Ukraine.

He expressed confidence that the stability of the dairy business is an example for the entire economy, and that the effective distribution of margins between producers, processors, and retailers is not only a matter of economics but also of trust.

“Only synergy between all participants can provide the economies of scale that will allow creating added value both in the country and for export. I am grateful for the open and professional dialogue. It was a fruitful conversation, which I am convinced will have practical results for the industry,” Koval emphasized.

At the same time, he noted that pricing is the key to fairness in the chain and called on producers to move from raw materials to finished products.

“A ton of Ukrainian agricultural exports costs an average of EUR 291. For comparison, in the EU it is EUR 1,536. This is the difference between a raw material economy and an added value economy. Our task is to ensure that the share of livestock and processing reaches over 50% in the agricultural sector,” the Minister of Agricultural Policy concluded.

Banks must pay UAH 11.78 billion in additional taxes for 2024

Revised data on bank profits and taxes published

The National Bank of Ukraine has published the final version of the banks’ balance sheet reports for 2024, which takes into account adjusting entries. Pre-tax profit decreased by 1% compared to the previous report, while tax payable increased by almost 15%. The total after-tax profit of banks decreased to UAH 90.9 billion. 93% of the additional charges fell on state-owned banks.

The total pre-tax profit of Ukrainian banks for 2024 amounted to UAH 186.8 billion, almost the same as in the previous NBU data. However, after-tax profit fell significantly, by UAH 12.8 billion (i.e., 12%), and now stands at UAH 90.9 billion.

This was due to a significant additional income tax assessment, which ultimately increased by 15% and reached UAH 95.9 billion. Accordingly, taxes will eat up 51% of profits. For comparison, in 2023, this figure was 48%, and in 2022, only 25%.

93% of all additional charges fell on state-owned banks, which is 11.78 billion UAH in additional taxes. Oschadbank paid the most: its income tax after adjustment increased 2.5 times, from 4.3 to 10.66 billion UAH (+6.36 billion UAH).

Ukreximbank paid an additional UAH 2.94 billion — its tax increased 15 times. Sens Bank (formerly Alfa-Bank) — 58 times, to UAH 1.97 billion (+UAH 1.94 billion). The only state-owned bank where the tax decreased was Ukrgasbank: -UAH 455 million.

Banks with foreign capital were charged a total of only UAH 118.57 million.

Banks with private capital were charged UAH 1.34 billion, with the largest amounts going to A-Bank (+UAH 541 million), Bank Pivdenny (+UAH 308 million), and MTB (+UAH 225 million).

The largest increase in income tax after adjustment was recorded by the Ukrainian Bank for Reconstruction and Development, which rose 84 times, from UAH 247,000 to UAH 20.76 million.

Overall, income tax after adjustment increased for 22 banks, by UAH 12.7 billion. At the same time, it decreased by UAH 513.4 million in 12 banks (88.8% of which fell on Ukrgasbank). As a result, the amount of tax exceeded the net profit of banks by UAH 5 billion.

Sanofi, Dobrobut Academy, and Dobrobut Clinic announce strategic partnership in Ukrainian healthcare

On June 3, 2025, the pharmaceutical company Sanofi signed Memoranda of Understanding with the Private Higher Education Institution Dobrobut Academy and the Dobrobut Medical Network. The partnership aims to significantly improve patient access in Ukraine to innovative methods for the diagnosis and treatment of orphan diseases, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, and to improve the level of immunoprophylaxis.

In particular, the partners are joining forces within the Orphan Diseases Academy project, which aims to detect rare hereditary diseases at an early stage and provide comprehensive support to patients, including through free access to highly specialized laboratory diagnostics abroad.

Another important area of cooperation is the development of preventive and educational programs on diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, as well as the organization of training courses and workshops for medical professionals using modern methods and experts. This contributes to improving the professional level of doctors and introducing advanced technologies into medical practice.

Particular attention is paid to the introduction of digital solutions for patient monitoring and the active promotion of vaccination as a key tool for protecting public health, which contributes to strengthening immunoprophylaxis and increasing vaccination literacy.

“At a time when Ukraine’s healthcare system is facing unprecedented challenges, reliable partnerships are crucial. We are delighted that new partners are joining Sanofi’s educational initiatives – the Dobrobut medical network and the Dobrobut Academy, leading medical institutions that share our values of quality, accessibility, and trust. Working together on early diagnosis, training healthcare professionals, introducing innovative technologies, and strengthening immunoprophylaxis will expand the possibilities for helping patients and reinforce our common goal of providing Ukrainians with adequate support regardless of their circumstances,” said Olena Bushmina, Head of the Pharmaceutical Division at Sanofi in Ukraine.

“I am very pleased that two leading healthcare companies, Dobrobut and Sanofi, have signed a memorandum. After all, we are talking about concrete actions for the health of Ukrainians. Our cooperation will provide hundreds of patients with orphan, endocrinological, and cardiovascular diseases with access to the best modern diagnostics and necessary knowledge. I have no doubt that our joint efforts will bear fruit: a better quality of life and hope for those who need support, said Serhiy Orel, CEO of the Dobrobut medical network.

“At a time when every initiative can save lives, joining forces is not just important — it is vital. For the Dobrobut Academy, this partnership is not just about education. It is about hope for patients, new horizons for doctors, and the belief that even in the most difficult times, we can build a future together. We are proud to be part of this great cause,” said Nana Voitenko, rector of the Dobrobut Academy, professor, and doctor of biological sciences.

The cooperation agreement was signed at the Dobrobut Academy, a private higher education institution, with the participation of Olena Bushmina, Head of the Pharmaceutical Division at Sanofi Ukraine, Serhii Orla, CEO of the Dobrobut Medical Network, and Nana Voitenko, Rector of the Dobrobut Academy.
