During all three years of war, family of MP Herus has been doing business with Putin’s man
The wife of MP Andrii Herus, who chairs the Verkhovna Rada’s Energy Committee, was a business partner of Putin’s special envoy Kirill Dmitriev until the spring of 2022.
This was reported by Censor.NET, citing Glavkom.
It is noted that already in February, due to growing public attention to Dmitriev, Nataliia Herus began to withdraw from their joint business.
According to Andrii Herus’s 2024 income declaration, Nataliia Herus was listed as the controller of the company Ukrainska Mriia ("Ukrainian Dream").
However, on February 22, 2025, the wife of the Servant of the People MP ceased to be the ultimate beneficial owner of Ukrainska Mriia. She was replaced by a Kyiv resident, Mykola Lysak. In addition, Nataliia Herus stepped down as the company’s director — a position she had held since August 2019. From 2011 to August 2019, the company was headed by her husband, current MP Andrii Herus.
"Ukrainska Mriia", which provides media advertising brokerage services, lists one of the Herus family's business partners as a person named Kirill Alexandrovich Dmitriev.
It is known that Dmitriev has been under sanctions from Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia since 2022.
Since April 2011, he has been the CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund and deputy chairman of the Investment Council under the Chairman of the State Duma.
In February 2025, Putin appointed him Special Representative of the Russian President for Investment and Economic Cooperation with Foreign Countries.
Dmitriev is also a member of the boards of directors of "Rostelecom", "Gazprombank", "Russian Railways", "Transneft", "Rosseti" and "Alrosa".
The journalists note that "Ukrainian Mriia" LLC owns 98.59% of the corporate rights of "Elit Ekokarpat" LLC, which, according to Herus's declaration, was controlled by his wife Natalia until March 2025.
