Why Cyprus' EU presidency is important for Ukraine's future
Andreas Sophocleus, trust manager of Smart Holding and founder of the Kepaky charitable foundation, emphasizes that investors are ready to work in Ukraine, invest and create jobs even during the war. But they need something that no company can provide on its own — political and regulatory stability. And this must be implemented already, and not wait for better times.

The State Budget of Ukraine Received 41% Less Taxes from Smart Holding in the First 9 Months of 2025
As of January–September 2025, the Group’s companies paid 543 million UAH in taxes, which is 41% less than in the same period last year (915 million UAH). This reduction occurred, among other reasons, due to increased government pressure and the blocking of gas production assets of the publicly listed British company Enwell Energy.

Ukraine imports gas, while blocking its own fields
Ukraine has gas, but cannot produce it. Not because of the war. Not because of missiles. Due to the decisions of state bodies.

We need to distinguish sanctions against individuals and the work of enterprises operating in Ukraine, paying taxes and supporting energy independence
Today, the Ukrainian energy sector lives between two realities: On the one hand, there is an urgent need for its own gas, on the other hand, there are legal norms that actually stop those who can provide this resource.

We are ready to launch gas production within 48 hours and give the country up to 20 million cubic meters of gas/month - Ivan Gerasimovich, CEO Smart-Holding
Another difficult night of attack on energy. The enemy is purposefully destroying Ukraine's gas infrastructure and the country is forced to buy gas abroad to pass the heating season. The difference in value between the foreign and domestic markets hits the economy. And Ukrainian gas remains in the bowels when Ukraine and Ukrainians desperately need it on the eve of winter.
