The director of the state enterprise Prozorro Sales, Alexey Sobolev, was appointed to the post of Deputy Minister of Economy of Ukraine in January 2023.

The director of the state enterprise Prozorro Sales, Alexey Sobolev, was appointed to the position of Deputy Minister of Economy of Ukraine in January 2023. It is known that Alexey Sobolev previously worked at Dragon Asset Management, and subsequently, after his dismissal, from 2015 to 2016, he was an adviser to the Minister of Infrastructure.

But there are several more interesting facts from the biography of the Deputy Minister of Economy, which he is silent about, but which will tell much more about him than the information we listed above.

The fact is that Alexei Sobolev’s father, Dmitry Vladlenovich, has a business in Russian-occupied Crimea. According to the charter documents, he is the owner of Crimean Tent Company LLC and Arnika Crimea LLC.

According to information on the Internet, these companies are actively involved in business activities, and were also re-registered in Crimea in 2014 or after it under the laws of the Russian Federation.

So, what do we have - one of the key leaders of the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine, who tells in his interviews that Russia will be under EU sanctions for a very long time, and its economy will not withstand this, he himself or with the help of his family, financially supports the aggressor country? And we still continue to wonder where Russia gets its financial assets to buy weapons and missiles to kill Ukrainians and destroy peaceful cities. The answer is obvious: some representatives of our government sponsor this themselves. Alexey Sobolev including.
