Oleksandr Yanukovych is a businessperson and the son of former President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych.

He still runs his business activities in the Donbass region controlled by the separatist groups, especially in the energy, coal, construction, banking and real estate sectors. In particular, thanks to close ties with the pro-Russian separatists, he acquired key economic assets in the so-called “Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics”, inter alia in the energy, coal and real-estate sectors. The separatist OPLOT battalion (listed since February 2015) protected his real-estate development projects in the so-called “Donetsk People’s Republic”. Oleksandr Yanukovych’s MAKO Holding company was officially transferred to Russian jurisdiction and is now registered in Donetsk. Prior to the transition to Russian jurisdiction, the MAKO group of companies was de jure under Ukrainian jurisdiction.

From 2010 until 2014, Viktor Yanukovych was President of Ukraine. He pursued a pro-Russian policy when in office. A Ukrainian court found Viktor Yanukovych guilty of treason for having invited the Russian Federation to invade Ukraine. After being removed from power, he relocated to Russia, from where he has continued his activities aimed at destabilising Ukraine. He assisted in the Russian military interference in Ukraine by calling on the President of the Russian Federation to send Russian troops to Ukraine in March 2014. Viktor Yanukovych supported pro-Russian politicians who held public offices in occupied Crimea. In 2021, a new pre-trial investigation in Ukraine was opened according to which Viktor Yanukovych, together with two former Ministers of Defence, had purposefully reduced the defence capacity of Ukraine, particularly in the Autonomous “Republic of Crimea”. On 21 April 2010, then President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych and then President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev signed an agreement between Ukraine and the Russian Federation, according to which the term of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation in Sevastopol was extended from 2017 to 2042. By signing the agreements, Yanukovych created favourable conditions for increasing Russia’s military presence in Ukraine and the re-equipment and modernisation of the weapons of the Black Sea Fleet in the territory of Crimea. Subsequently, Russian weapons that were on the territory of Ukraine were used to annex the Autonomous “Republic of Crimea” and the city of Sevastopol in 2014. He considers himself as the legitimate President of Ukraine and has consistently presented a pro-Russian stance in his public interventions. According to different sources, Viktor Yanukovych has been part of a Russian special operation, aimed at replacing the Ukrainian President with him, during the first phases of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. Furthermore, the President of the Republic of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov, has requested the President of Ukraine to transfer all his powers to Viktor Yanukovych. Therefore, Viktor Yanukovych is responsible for supporting or implementing actions or policies which threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, as well as the state’s stability and security. |

He is considered to be one of Russia’s businesspersons-officials, who were entrusted with servicing financial flows but whose positions depend on the will of the President. Usmanov has reportedly fronted for the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin and solved his business problems. He also has close ties with Dmitry Medvedev, the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia and former President and Prime Minister of Russia, who benefitted from the personal use of luxurious residences controlled by Usmanov. Therefore, he actively supported materially or financially and benefitted from Russian decision-makers responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine. Furthermore, he is a leading businessperson operating in Russia and a businessperson involved in an economic sector providing a substantial source of revenue to the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine. When Usmanov took control of the business daily “Kommersant”, the freedom of the editorial staff was curtailed and the newspaper took a manifestly pro-Kremlin stance. Kommersant under Usmanov’s ownership published a propagandist anti-Ukrainian article by Dmitry Medvedev, in which the former President of Russia argued that it was meaningless to engage in talks with the current Ukrainian authorities, who in his opinion were under direct foreign control. Therefore he actively supported the Russian government’s policies of destabilisation of Ukraine. |

Since mid-October 2021, Russian military forces have started an unprecedented military build-up on or near the Ukrainian border and within Ukraine’s occupied Crimea region. In this respect, many observers and policymakers have expressed concerns about a possible new Russian invasion of Ukraine or other aggressive actions.

The Southern Military District also supervised military exercises of the armed forces of the separatist “republics”.

The Ukrainian authorities detained him in October 2022 and accused him of collaborationist activities, as well as “complicity with the aggressor state” and treason.

After the illegal annexation of Crimea, Russian National Commercial Bank (RNCB) became fully owned by the so-called “Republic of Crimea”. In January 2016, it became a property of the Federal Agency for State Property Management, also known as Rosimushchestvo (Федеральное агентство по управлению государственным имуществом (Росимущество)). It has become the dominant player in the market, while it had no presence in Crimea before the annexation. By buying or taking over from branches of retreating banks operating in Crimea, RNCB supported materially and financially the actions of the Russian government to integrate Crimea into the Russian Federation, thus undermining Ukraine’s territorial integrity. On 29 January 2020 The Russian Central Bank decided to reorganise the Sevastopol Marine Bank with the participation of RNCB. The bank participated in two large infrastructure projects in Crimea – it finances the construction of a new air terminal complex in Simferopol and generation facilities (Balaklavskaya TPP and Tavricheskaya TPP). In 2023, the RNCB became a subsidiary of the state-owned VTB Bank, Russia’s largest Bank, which is a systemically important financial institution of the Russian government and remains a primary source of revenue for the Russian Federation. The RNCB therefore supports financially the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine. The RNCB is also a legal person involved in economic sectors providing a substantial source of revenue to the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine. |

Through those actions and by participating formally in the illegal “elections”, it has therefore actively supported actions and policies which undermine the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, and to further destabilise Ukraine. |
