Ukrainian tea was exported to Poland (Lovare Sp. zo.o.), then to Belarus (Natur Technologies LLC), and then to the Russian company LDK, which supplied it to the Russian market at least until May 2024. In official customs documents, tea and coffee from Monomakh were listed as “produced in Ukraine” and sometimes “produced in Belarus” to circumvent bans during the war. On June 10, the SBU conducted searches in the company’s offices and a number of employees. Taras Barabash was put on the wanted list on June 16, 2025 — he is listed in the indictment for “aiding an aggressor state.” However, the company published a statement on its website. “We do not cooperate with the Russian Federation, do not help Russia, and do not do business on the territory of an enemy state,” the tea manufacturer emphasizes. The Ukrainian company "Monomakh" declares its complete openness, readiness to cooperate with law enforcement agencies, and determination to protect its business reputation exclusively in the legal field.
