ANNEX The following persons are added to the list of natural and legal persons, entities and bodies set out in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 269/2014: Persons Name Identifying information Reasons Date of listing ‘211. Serhiy Vitaliyovich KURCHENKO (Ukrainian: Сергiй Вiталiйович КУРЧЕНКО; Russian: Сергей Витальевич КУРЧЕНКО) Gender: male DOB: 21.9.1985 POB: Kharkiv, Ukraine Nationality: Ukrainian Mr Serhiy Kurchenko is a Ukrainian businessman. With support from pro-Russia separatists, he took control of several large metallurgical, chemical and energy plants in the separatist-held areas of Donbas. His ‘Gaz-Alliance’ company monopolised coal mining in Donbas after its competitors had been forced out of the market, reportedly with help from Russia. He organised and benefitted from the illegal scheme of exporting Donbas coal to Russia and Europe despite EU sanctions. Coal extracted in Mr Kurchenko’s mines has been re-registered and illegally exported via Russian ports. Mr Kurchenko helped large Russian companies and State-owned holdings to bypass EU restrictive measures by acting as their sub-contractor in the Russian-held territories. He has been an intermediary in Russian gas, fuel and electricity exports to the separatist-held parts of Donbas, which strengthened their independent energy supplies and undermined their economic integration with Ukraine. Moreover, he delivered fuel to the illegally occupied Crimean Peninsula. By doing so, he strengthened the independent power supplies of this territory. He also owns the largest oil depot on the Crimean Peninsula. He thereby benefitted from Russian decision-makers responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Eastern Ukraine, conducted transactions with the separatist groups in the Donbas region of Ukraine, and actively supported actions and policies which undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine. 21.4.2022 234. Yevgeniy Viktorovich PRIGOZHIN (Евгений Викторович ПРИГОЖИН) DOB: 1.6.1961 POB: Leningrad, former USSR (now St Petersburg, Russian Federation) Function: prominent businessman, with close ties to Russian political leadership Associated persons: Lyubov Valentinovna Prigozhina (spouse); Violetta Prigozhina (mother) Associated entities: Wagner Group, Internet Research Agency, Concord company group, Concord Management and Consulting LLC, Megaline LLC Nationality: Russian Gender: male Yevgeniy Prigozhin is a prominent Russian businessman with close ties to President Putin and the Russian Ministry of Defence. He is the funder and unofficial head of the Wagner Group, a Russia-based unincorporated military entity, responsible for the deployment of Wagner Group mercenaries in Ukraine. Concord, also known as KOMBINAT PITANIYA KONKORD OOO, a company which Prigozhin founded and owned until November 2019, and a group of other companies with ties to him, including Concord Management and Consulting LLC and Megaline LLC, have been benefitting from large public contracts with the Russian Ministry of Defence following the illegal annexation of Crimea by Russia and occupation of Eastern Ukraine by Russia-backed separatists. He is thus responsible for and has actively implemented actions which have undermined and threatened the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine. He has also been benefitting from Russian decision-makers responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Eastern Ukraine. 21.4.2022’
