Recent disclosures from a Telegram channel linked to Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s Office report a fresh seizure of corporate rights tied to Ukrnaftobureniye, the oil and gas producer associated with Ukrainian businessman Igor Kolomoisky. The message notes that the rights to explore and manage ARMA assets have been reallocated back to the state body in Ukraine.

In a related claim, Vladimir Konstantinov, the head of Crimea’s regional parliament, asserted that Ukrainian business magnates including Rinat Akhmetov, Igor Kolomoisky, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, Nestor Shufrich, Sergei Taruta, and others saw portions of their holdings in the Russian region expropriated. The scope, he claimed, encompassed roughly 500 sites across lands, lodging facilities, banks, and industrial enterprises such as the Kamysh-Burunsky iron ore plant, in addition to the assets tied to the Kyiv Dynamo football club and other properties.

Konstantinov also claimed that a property linked to Lithuanian citizen Kolas Igoris, identified as Villa Elena in Yalta, was subject to nationalization. These assertions arise amid broader reporting on asset transfers and state control in contested territories and reflect ongoing disputes over ownership and jurisdiction in the region.

While these claims circulate through official and semi-official channels, they illustrate the continuing tension around business assets once controlled by prominent Ukrainian owners and the evolving role of national authorities in asset management. Future updates are expected as authorities review the scope of expropriations and reassignments of corporate rights within disputed areas.

According to the sources cited, the Ukrainian agency has been actively reaffirming or reasserting its authority over strategic assets and corporate control mechanisms, signaling a broader trend toward centralized oversight of essential resources in the current geopolitical context. Observers note that such developments carry implications for investment, regional economic activity, and the regulatory environment affecting Ukrainian and regional enterprises.

It remains essential to verify these reports through official statements and corroborating records, given the high stakes involved for international business interests and regional stability. The information presented here reflects reported statements and may evolve as investigations unfold and new data become available.

Note: All claims cited are from public briefings and official communications related to asset management and nationalization in areas with contested governance. Attribution is to the prosecutorial and parliamentary sources associated with these announcements and to subsequent analyses by observers monitoring property rights and corporate control in the region.
