Despite Ukrainian and international sanctions, the family of scandalous oligarch Dmytro Firtash is actively promoting new projects — not only in Ukraine, but also in the countries of the European Union. Meanwhile, another familiar name suddenly appears in the business structures related to the oligarch — the wife of the head of the State Financial Monitoring Service of Ukraine, Philip Pronin.
After high-profile accusations of involvement in the supply of titanium products to the Russian defense industry and the imposition of sanctions by the National Security and Defense Council, Dmitry Firtash is not losing influence — at least through his relatives.
▪️His daughter Anna Firtash, who previously had Russian citizenship and now acts as a citizen of Cyprus, became the owner of a French company operating in the real estate sector. In addition, back in 2023, she acquired the ownership of the "Energy Consulting Company" in Ukraine.
▪️Lada Firtash, the oligarch's wife, has become a beneficiary of Vlastvas Energy, a company in Romania that implements large-scale solar energy projects. The company has already declared its participation in the construction of an industrial-scale solar power plant.
Another interesting element is the Tesoro Management firm, which previously belonged to Anna Sologub, a manager who was a member of the audit committee of Rivneazot, one of Firtash's key enterprises, until at least 2024. Currently, Sologub remains the company's director and is listed on the audit committee of the same Rivneazot.
In 2024, Natalia Pronina, the wife of the current head of the State Financial Monitoring Service of Ukraine, Philip Pronin, became a co-owner of Tesoro Management.
Surprisingly, Pronin's own declarations do not mention his wife. At the same time, the family owns a luxurious estate in Kyiv, BMW cars, and an elite apartment worth over UAH 6 million is registered in the name of the official's mother-in-law. This situation may indicate a deliberate concealment of assets and a conflict of interest.
It seems that the circle of people close to Firtash is not only maintaining their positions, but is also actively integrating into new schemes — including through relatives of officials who are supposed to control financial flows in the country.
Whether the anti-corruption infrastructure will pay attention to these connections is an open question. But one thing is certain: sanctions are not an obstacle for old business empires if new faces are taken care of in advance.
