We are joining the MUST – Make Ukraine Strong Together flashmob, the goal of which is to show the contribution of business to building a strong and independent Ukraine.
We thank Ruslan Shostak, founder and co-owner of the EVA and VARUS store chains, for such an initiative. We, Smart Holding Group, are one of the largest industrial and investment holdings in Ukraine.
We invest in strategically important industries that form the basis of the national economy: mining and metallurgical and oil and gas complexes, agriculture, shipbuilding, logistics, infrastructure and real estate.
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, we:
✅7 billion UAH in taxes have been paid to the state budget of Ukraine. It could have been more, but due to irrational state decisions, gas production enterprises were stopped
✅ UAH 3.1 billion was directed to humanitarian and defense needs
✅ UAH 2+ billion in investments, although they intended to invest UAH 12 billion, which was prevented by imperfect state mechanisms
✅ UAH 20+ million was directed by our company Smart Maritime Group, which is forced to stop working due to military operations, to humanitarian projects in Kherson. At its own expense, it supports the operability of the substation that supplies electricity to the Korabel microdistrict of Kherson.
✅ The Veres agro-industrial company was actively involved in providing our defenders with high-quality food products
✅ Smart Granit supplies crushed stone for the country's defense needs And most importantly, we provide 1,500+ Ukrainians with jobs. Smart Holding is a Ukrainian business that operates within the framework of the law, provides tax revenues, helps defenders, provides jobs, and supports the economy of Ukraine.

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.
