At our enterprise Smart Granit, the first explosion of rock occurred after obtaining the official permit. For us, this is not just a technical action for the extraction of crushed stone - it is a symbol of recovery

When 60% of the gas infrastructure is destroyed, Ukrainian gas should not be locked up. The CEO of Smart-Holding, Ivan Gerasimovich, called on the authorities to unblock the work of gas producing companies of the Smart Energy group, which are in forced downtime due to the sanctions policy.

In the first quarter of 2025, the companies that are part of the Smart Holding industrial and investment group paid almost UAH 200 million in taxes and fees to the state budget.

Ivan Gerasimovych, CEO of Smart-Holding, joined the round table "Ukrainian Bowels Under Sanctions and Arrests: Challenges, Conclusions, Future", organized by the NADRA.info. They talked about the main thing: how to ensure the effectiveness of sanctions against the aggressor state without paralyzing their own economy. One of the key topics was the situation around Smart-Holding's gas production enterprises in Poltava and Kharkiv regions, which were forced to stop operations due to sanctions legislation.

Problems with power supply arose after the massive shelling of Kherson on February 17. As a result of the damage, 3 thousand residents were left without electricity for an indefinite period.

There are still widespread misconceptions in society about the ownership structure of Smart Holding. We explain transparently and clearly 

Smart Energy Group is forced to stop the implementation of development programs totaling UAH 3.2 billion. These are investments in Ukrainian subsoil, which were planned for 2025 and included drilling new wells, construction and modernization of production facilities. Due to the suspension of special permits for hydrocarbon production and, as a result, the blocking of the work of the group's companies, further implementation of the group's production program is not possible. 

We will have to import more at European prices, but where will the money come from? While our own Ukrainian enterprises want to work but cannot.

By 2022, the company was steadily supplying the market with quality products, supporting hundreds of jobs and paying millions of hryvnias in taxes. Thanks to the modernization of production in 2021, the company achieved record production volumes and made a significant contribution to the implementation of the state programs "Great Construction" and "Great Restoration".
