Details
The system analyzes counterparties on a number of indicators, 5 of which signal certain ties with Russia or Belarus.
At least 20,899 legal entities correspond to at least one or several of the 5 indicators (data as of the end of April 2022).
More than 16,000 legal entities have a participant / beneficiary with a connection to Russia, and 3,602 legal entities have the same connection with Belarus. The name of the 919 legal entities operating in Ukraine mentions the name of the aggressor country, for example, Russia 1 LLC operates in Ukraine, which, according to the YouControl analytical system, is engaged in passenger land and freight transport. 536 companies are subject to special attention due to the fact that they are members of a joint holding with a counterparty operating under the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation, and 265 Ukrainian companies are members of a legal entity registered under the laws of the Russian Federation.
Let’s add
Cases with such contractors attract the attention of law enforcement agencies, provoke investigations into such cooperation and damage the reputation due to negative public perception. Ukraine, EU member states, the United States may impose sanctions on companies, their founders and beneficiaries working with Russia.
Moreover, partnerships with counterparties that bear these risks can be seen as supporting military aggression against Ukraine.
