The assets reportedly include corporate rights in the form of 100 per cent statutory capital of the company in the amount of over 31, 5 million UAH and offers of over 3 million UAH and 106,000 USD

All seized assets have been transferred to the National Agency of Ukraine for Asset Detection, Disposal and Management (ARMA).

The news follows the latest reports of the SBU that claimed Russian soldiers are breaking their fingers so as to be declared unfit for war according to an alleged intercepted phone call reported by Ukraine’s Security Service on Wednesday June 29.
