Information has emerged that Ukrainian businessman and investor Dmitry Firtash, who has been living in Austria since 2014, demands that the Ukrainian authorities “cut off the flow of Russian fertilizers to Ukraine.”
Among the reasons for this concern about pollution is competition and falling earnings of the Ostchem nitrogen holding company. It's not hard to guess who it belongs to.
The authors of the Telegram channel “All Moves Are Recorded” have already responded to this news, where they often publish incriminating evidence on famous politicians, officials and businessmen.
“Viennese prisoner Dmitry Firtash took on the role of a Ukrainian patriot so much that he began to demand that the authorities stop the flow of Russian fertilizers to Ukraine through the EU countries, since this prevents his nitrogen holding Ostchem from making money. The latter noted a stop in the growth of mineral fertilizer production, against the backdrop of the fact that imports exceeded production within Ukraine. The main flow of Russian fertilizers comes to Ukraine from Poland, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan,” the authors of the channel report.
It is also worth mentioning that at the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion, the import of fertilizers almost stopped due to the closure of the ports of “greater Odessa”.
The needs of farmers were met by only two factories of the OSTCHEM group in Cherkassy and Rivne. The rest of the nitrogen enterprises stopped working.
