Company from Poland – long-term supplier of Russian coal

Such a complex network of links between the Russian oligarch requires careful examination in the context of the agreement concluded with the Polish company. A paper documentation game is simply a key component that allows to circumvent sanctions straight imposed on Russia, masking the actual origin of the natural material. Is that the case? The company is simply a proven partner of Russian energy companies. It has been importing coal from Russia since 2005.

Regardless of the anticipation of checking where the coal imported by the Polish company truly comes from – 1 thing is certain – this coal not only dirty hands to anyone who touches it. Even if it is actually mined in Kazakhstan, it is inactive a origin of profit for Russian oligarchs who form the war economy of Russia and co-finance the brutal war waged by this country in Ukraine. Vladimir Putin's diploma for Nikolaj Koronowski should act as a informing sign before conducting business with any of his and his wife companies.

We'll keep investigating.
