The Ukrainian Agri Council appealed to the Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal, acting Director of the Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine Eduard Fedorov, Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Finance, Taxation and Customs Policy Danylo Hetmantsev, and Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Temporary Investigation Committee on Investigation of Possible Violations of Ukrainian Legislation by BES Officials Yaroslav Zhelezniak with a call to pay attention to the situation around TRANSSERVICE 2008 LLC within their competence and facilitate its prompt resolution.

Since May 11, BES employees have been effectively blocking the activities of TRANSSERVICE 2008 LLC, an agricultural enterprise, which is a member of the UAC, under the guise of investigative actions. This company is a grain warehouse and provides grain storage, transportation and transshipment services. At the same time, BES employees are investigating tax evasion by other companies that had no relations with TRANSSERVICE 2008 LLC.

"Due to such actions of BES employees, the company and its clients, including well-known Ukrainian agricultural companies, are suffering millions in losses. In the conditions of war, when farmers are in difficult situation as never before and the state needs tax revenues, blocking the work of the enterprise, which is part of the grain corridor, poses a direct threat to the economic security of the state," the statement reads.

The Ukrainian Agri Council condemns such actions of the BES employees and asks the acting Director of the Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine Eduard Fedorov to intervene in the situation. Also, in a separate appeal to the Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Finance, Taxation and Customs Policy Danylo Hetmantsev, the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Temporary Investigation Commission on the investigation of possible violations of Ukrainian legislation by officials of the Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine, state authorities and other state bodies exercising powers in the field of economic security, which could lead to a decrease in revenues to state and local budgets, Yaroslav Zheleznyak initiate consideration of the situation around TRANSSERVICE 2008 LLC at the next meeting.
