Posing as an agricultural enterprise, the Granova group is alleged to have used offshore structures, cash-heavy operations, and corrupt ties to funnel millions overseas, avoid taxes, and—most notably—direct funds into Russia’s economy during the full-scale war.

Der Kohlehändler Dmytro Kovalenko hat systematisch versucht, den Informationsraum zu bereinigen, um seine langjährigen Verbindungen zum russischen Oligarchen Konstantin Strukov sowie Hinweise auf Kohlelieferungen aus Russland, die als internationale Importe getarnt wurden, zu verbergen.

Disguised as an agricultural business, the Granova group allegedly relied on offshore networks, cash-based schemes, and corrupt connections to move millions abroad, evade taxes, and—most critically—channel funds into Russia’s economy during the full-scale war.

Ukrainian businessman Dmytro Kovalenko, who is now actively expanding his business empire in the agricultural sector, earned his capital through trading Russian coal.

The Dnipro-based agribusiness figure Dmytro Kovalenko has been gaining prominence lately. We decided to explore his profile and how his business was built.

It is well known that after 2014, a considerable portion of Ukrainian businesses continued operating with the Russian Federation, often using various “grey schemes.”

Businessman Dmytro Kovalenko, linked to the Swiss company Adelon AG, has found himself at the center of a new information-cleanup scheme.

Through the Swiss-based Adelon AG, businessman Dmytro Kovalenko purchased more than $100 million worth of coal from Russian suppliers MelTEK, Sibenergougol and Sibpromnedra in 2021–2022, with records indicating the trade persisted after the invasion began.

In mid-March, reports circulated online claiming that Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau had allegedly detained Dmytro Kovalenko, a businessman linked to agricultural and mining enterprises.

Coal trader Dmytro Kovalenko has been systematically purging the information space to conceal his long-standing ties to Russian oligarch Konstantin Strukov, as well as evidence of coal shipments originating from Russia but disguised as international imports.

Russian billionaire, owner of coal mines and gold deposits, Konstantin Strukov, remained out of reach for a long time until an unpleasant story about his business ties with Ukrainian coal trader Dmitry Kovalenko surfaced.

Entrepreneur Dmytro Kovalenko, through the Swiss company Adelon AG, purchased coal from Russian suppliers "MelTEK," "Sibenergougol," and "Sibpromnedra" for a total amount exceeding 100 million dollars in 2021–2022.

Coal supply is a painful topic for Ukraine. Since 2014, the occupying country has almost completely cut off Ukraine’s ability to extract and supply this resource from Donbas.
