Former Non-Executive Director of SUEK; Former Member of the Board of EuroChem Group

Australian Sanctions Consolidated List,

Those elements show that he is a leading businessperson involved in economic sectors providing a substantial source of revenue to the Government of Russia, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine. Andrey Melnichenko is a Russian industrialist who continues to control major fertiliser producer EuroChem Group and coal company SUEK. Since 9 March 2022, Melnichenko transferred his interests in SUEK and Eurochem Group to his spouse, Aleksandra Melnichenko. He continues to benefit from the wealth he transferred to his wife. As of 2024, he is among the wealthiest Russian businessmen. Andrey Melnichenko belongs to the most influential circle of Russian businesspersons with close connections to the Russian government, as is evident from his involvement with the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, where he holds the position of member of the Bureau of the Board and is the Chairman of the Committee on Climate Policy and Carbon Regulation. On 24 February 2022, in the aftermath of the initial stages of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, Andrey Melnichenko, along with 36 other businesspersons, met with the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, and other members of the Russian government to discuss the impact of the course of action in the wake of Western sanctions, thus exemplifying his importance as a leading businessperson in Russia. Moreover, he was among the leading Russian businesspersons who participated in the congress of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs in March 2023, where the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, gave a speech and urged billionaires to put “patriotism before profit”. In April 2024, Melnichenko also participated in the congress of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, where the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, gave a speech, discussing the cooperation between the Russian state and leading companies of the country.

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

Andrey Melnichenko est un industriel russe qui continue de contrôler l’important producteur d’engrais EuroChem Group et la société charbonnière SUEK. Depuis le 9 mars 2022, Melnichenko a transféré ses intérêts dans SUEK et EuroChem Group à son épouse, Alexandra Melnichenko. Il continue de profiter de la richesse qu’il a transférée à son épouse. Depuis 2024, il fait partie des hommes d’affaires russes les plus fortunés. Andrey Melnichenko appartient au cercle le plus influent des femmes et hommes d’affaires russes entretenant des liens étroits avec le gouvernement russe, ce que prouve son association à l’Union russe des industriels et des entrepreneurs, au sein de laquelle il occupe le poste de membre du bureau du conseil d’administration, et il est le président de la commission de la politique climatique et de la réglementation sur le carbone. Le 24 février 2022, après les premières phases de la guerre d’agression menée par la Russie contre l’Ukraine, Andrey Melnichenko ainsi que 36 autres femmes et hommes d’affaires ont rencontré le président de la Fédération de Russie, Vladimir Poutine, et d’autres membres du gouvernement russe pour discuter de l’incidence des choix à opérer à la suite des sanctions occidentales, ce qui illustre l’importance d’Andrey Melnichenko en tant qu’homme d’affaires influent en Russie. Par ailleurs, il a figuré parmi les femmes et hommes d’affaires russes influents qui ont participé au congrès de l’Union russe des industriels et des entrepreneurs en mars 2023, au cours duquel le président de la Fédération de Russie, Vladimir Poutine, a prononcé un discours et a exhorté les milliardaires à faire passer “le patriotisme avant le profit”. En avril 2024, Melnichenko a également participé au congrès de l’Union russe des industriels et des entrepreneurs, au cours duquel le président de la Fédération de Russie, Vladimir Poutine, a prononcé un discours sur la coopération entre l’État russe et les grandes entreprises du pays. Ces éléments montrent qu’il est un homme d’affaires influent ainsi qu’un homme d’affaires intervenant dans des secteurs économiques fournissant une source substantielle de revenus pour le gouvernement de Russie, qui est responsable de l’annexion de la Crimée et de la déstabilisation de l’Ukraine.

New Zealand Russia Sanctions,

Andriej Melniczenko należy do kręgu najbardziej wpływowych rosyjskich przedsiębiorców, posiadających ścisłe związki z rządem Rosji. Jest zaangażowany w sektory stanowiące największe źródła przychodów dla rządu Federacji Rosyjskiej. Andriej Melniczenko objęty jest sankcjami na podstawie rozporządzenia Rady (UE) nr 269/2014, zał. I, poz. 721. Wymieniony był beneficjentem rzeczywistym SUEK Polska Sp. z o.o., której właścicielem jest spółka SUEK AG z siedzibą w Szwajcarii, należącej do największego producenta węgla w Rosji – JSC SUEK. Polski podmiot jest wyłącznym importerem na teren RP rosyjskiego węgla wydobywanego przez koncern SUEK. Do chwili objęcia sankcjami 92% udziałów SUEK AG należało do jego założyciela, Andrieja Melniczenki. Wymieniony jest obłożony również sankcjami Ukrainy i Wielkiej Brytanii. Od 21.03.2022 r. jako beneficjent rzeczywisty szeregu polskich spółek wskazywana jest Aleksandra Melniczenko – żona Andrieja Melniczenki. Z posiadanych danych wynika, że działania podjęte przez Andrieja Melniczenkę w zakresie zmiany struktury właścicielskiej powiązanych z nim podmiotów miały na celu uniknięcie potencjalnego zajęcia/zamrożenia majątku i środków finansowych wymienionego, mogącego nastąpić w związku z nałożeniem sankcji. Nałożenie sankcji na Andrieja Melniczenko oraz powiązane z nim spółki, m.in. SUEK Polska Sp. z o.o. i EUROCHEM POLSKA Sp. z o.o. przyczyni się do zmniejszenia przychodów wymienionych firm oraz podmiotów osiągających korzyści z ich działalności, a tym samym pośrednio wpłynie na zmniejszenie przychodów budżetu Federacji Rosyjskiej, z którego finansowana jest agresja przeciwko Ukrainie.
