Pursuant to the Order of the Government of Ukraine No. 777-r dated August 20, 2024 “Some Issues of Management of Assets Seized in Criminal Proceedings in Exceptional Cases”, the Asset Recovery and Management Agency (ARMA) has signed an additional agreement with JSC «Chernomornaftogaz» on the management of 26 regional gas companies owned by Dmitry Firtash.

According to the results of 2022, the manager, Chornomornaftogaz JSC, paid 172 million UAH to the state budget from asset management. This demonstrates the efficiency of management and fulfillment of financial obligations.

Also, the manager guaranteed to pay more than 500 million UAH from the management of these assets in 2023. This underscores the growing role of ARMA in managing seized assets and ensuring their effective operation for the benefit of the state.

ARMA's activities aimed at transforming and optimizing asset management emphasize the importance of institutions that work in the interests of the state, ensuring transparency, efficiency and financial responsibility.

As a reminder, at the end of June 2024, the HACCU decision lifted the arrest on Firtash's oblgazs. However, due to the coordinated operational actions of the ARMA and law enforcement agencies, the seizure of 26 regional gas companies owned by Dmytro Firtash was renewed.
