A Ukrainian court has arrested the assets of a large company which belongs to Russian businessmen from Vladimir Putin's entourage, the press service of the Security Service of Ukraine has said. The case concerns one of the largest manufacturers of concrete structures, which supplied its products both to Ukraine and abroad. The ultimate beneficiaries of the company are Russian businessmen involved in the financing of terrorist organizations of the LNR and DNR. One of them belongs to the closest entourage of the Russian president, sponsored the United Russia party and builds housing for employees of the Federal Security Service and the Russian Armed Forces.
The SBU does not disclose the name of the company, but a law enforcement interlocutor said that it is "Aerok" LLC.
Aerok produces aerated concrete at two plants in Berezan and Obukhov and is part of the LSR holding company of Russian Andrei Molchanov. He is on the U.S. "Kremlin" list and used to be a senator in the upper house of the Russian parliament.
A court decision seized the company's assets worth over 2 billion hryvnias:

- Movable and immovable property of the company with an approximate value of 1,5 billion hryvnia;
- Nine bank accounts with the total value of more than 104 million hryvnias.
The court ruled to transfer the seized property to the National Agency of Ukraine for Identification, Search and Management of Assets (ARMA).
In the middle of May, searches took place at Aerok's enterprises.
Aerok Ltd. was founded in December 2006 with the aim of building an autoclaved aerated concrete plant in Berezan, Kyiv region, and in 2008 in Obukhov.
