The Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine (AMCU) has granted permission to Agroton Public Limited (Nicosia, Cyprus) to acquire control over the agricultural limited liability company (LLC) “Mriya.”
According to the AMCU’s announcement, control will be established through the direct acquisition of shares, ensuring a majority of more than 50% of the votes in the company’s highest governing body. The decision was made following the review of an application dated February 2, 2026 (No. 15-01/215-EKk).
Agroton Public Limited is the holding company of the “Agroton” group—a large, diversified, vertically integrated agricultural producer. The group’s primary beneficiary is Yuriy Zhuravlev.
As reported, in March 2026, the AMCU also granted Agroton Public Limited permission to acquire control over PAOP “Zorya” (Berestynsky District, Kharkiv Region), which previously belonged to American businessman George Ror through LLC “Charivny Svitanok (Agro).” The enterprise specializes in crop farming and dairy farming.
“Agroton” has been operating in the Ukrainian market since 1992 and, prior to the full-scale Russian military invasion, specialized in growing grain and oilseed crops, as well as the production and sale of livestock products. Before the war, Agrotone’s land bank consisted of approximately 110,000 hectares in the Luhansk and Kharkiv regions. The group also owned two poultry farms in the Luhansk region. However, according to the report for the first half of 2024, the area of land leased by the company from private individuals was zero.
In 2022, Agroton reported that representatives of the so-called “LPR” and JSC “Agrokompleks named after M.I. Tkachev” (Russian Federation) “seized” all assets of its parent company, Agroton Public Limited, in the Luhansk region on May 21, 2022. According to the Luhansk Regional Military Administration (RMA), Russian occupiers, with the participation of collaborators, stole 20,000 tons of grain from Agroton’s elevators, harvested 200,000 tons of the 2022 crop from its fields, and transported it to the Russian Federation. In addition, the invaders stole 40 vehicles and transported them to Russia.
Yuriy Zhuravlev, the majority owner and CEO of the Agroton agricultural group, who owned 85.4% of the shares in the parent company Agroton Public Limited (Cyprus) as of mid-2024, purchased an additional 2.09% (453,024 shares of the company) in November 2024, increasing his stake to 87.49%. As the company reported to the Warsaw Stock Exchange, the purchase took place on the over-the-counter market.

“The works are being carried out in a secret location. The second An-225 will be built using both new parts and parts of the damaged aircraft,” Gavrilov told Bild.
According to him, the second Mriya is already 30% ready. The construction cost is estimated at EUR500 million.
Gavrilov said that at an exhibition at the Leipzig/Halle International Airport, where Antonov Airlines is temporarily based, there are plans to organize a sale of merchandise to raise funds for the construction of the aircraft.

“Design work in this direction has now begun. According to the available expert estimates, there are currently about 30% of the components that can be used for the second prototype aircraft. The cost of building the aircraft is estimated at least at EUR500 million. However, it is still too early to talk about the specific amount,” clarified the SE “Antonov”.
