Some 41 joint-stock companies in Ukraine are still controlled by Russian citizens one year into Russia’s full-scale invasion, Ukrainian open data monitoring platform, Opendatabot, reported on Feb. 27.
The list includes such companies as clothing retailer Gloria Jeans, dairy producer Wimm-Bill-Dann Ukraine, banks – namely Forward Bank and VTB Bank – as well as energy companies Ukrenergoatom and Ukrgazprom.
In addition, strategic R&D assets, such as the Research and Design Institute of Atomic and Energy Pump Engineering in Sumy and the Ukrainian Research, Design and Technological Transformer Institute in Zaporizhzhya are also on the list.
Only nine of the said companies are undergoing either liquidation or bankruptcy procedures, while the rest continue to operate in Ukraine.
In total, almost 12,000 joint-stock companies are registered in Ukraine. However, information about owners and beneficiaries (individuals holding shares and receiving profit) is not available for all of them.
Opendatabot also said that the Unified State Register includes no information about two out of the 41 companies whose shareholders are listed in the registry of shareholding.
