Despite public statements about a complete break with Russia, structures linked to Artem Borodatyuk and Netpeak Group continued to exist in the Russian Federation for years and to fill the aggressor country’s budget with taxes. The Russian legal entities “Netpeak” and Ringostat paid millions of rubles even after February 24, 2022, while the service is still used on nearly a third of its sites in Russia. After investigations, traces of these connections are being hidden.
We are publishing the material in full to show exactly how Ukrainian IT business remained in the aggressor’s orbit.
Despite Netpeak Group’s public statement on March 9, 2022, about completely ceasing work with clients from Russia and Belarus, Russian legal entities linked to the company continued operating for a long time afterward. One of them — the former LLC “Netpeak” — was renamed after February 24 and liquidated only in January 2023. Over the years of operation, it transferred more than 23 million rubles to the Russian budget. Another legal entity linked to the Ringostat service continued paying taxes in 2022–2025. At the same time, according to BuiltWith data, Ringostat is still used on nearly every third site in its Russian client base.
StopCor analysts examined open sources and analyzed data from official registers. A number of facts were identified that may indicate an incomplete exit of Borodatyuk’s structures from the Russian market after February 24, 2022.
Netpeak Group is a group of more than 25 IT companies founded and led by Artem Borodatyuk as CEO. According to LIGA.net data, as of last year its clients included well-known Ukrainian and international businesses: monobank, Samsung, Uber, Peugeot, and others.
At the same time, in July the Telegram channel of the detective bureau Absolution Leaks published a series of messages drawing attention to the history of Artem Borodatyuk’s business cooperation with Russian companies before 2022, as well as the entrepreneur’s public image as a member of the presidential Council for Business Support.
Notably, Artem Borodatyuk himself publicly confirms membership in the presidential Council for Entrepreneurship Support and emphasizes that Netpeak Group’s cooperation with the state is pro bono — he spoke about this in an interview with Kyiv Post in April 2025. This removes any question about proximity to power — it is public and not hidden.
However, this does not remove a separate question that is very important for society during a full-scale war: have the business structures linked to Borodatyuk truly severed all ties with the aggressor country’s market, as officially stated?
“We ceased work with the Russian Federation”: statement of March 9, 2022
On March 9, 2022, Netpeak Group publicly announced that the Netpeak and Inweb agencies had stopped cooperating with clients from Russia and Belarus, while the services Serpstat, Ringostat, Netpeak Software, and AcademyOcean had frozen accounts of users from aggressor countries — this is stated in the company’s official statement, also cited by AIN.ua. This statement became the starting point for fact-checking.
Despite the above statements about exiting Russia, the group’s key Russian structure appears to have shown remarkable viability. This is indicated by a series of legal and financial “traces.”
Trace No. 1: accredited branch of “Netpik” operating in Russia since 2012
The open register of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation on accredited branches of foreign legal entities contains a record of the Branch of LLC “NETPIK,” which operated in Russia from April 27, 2012, to April 27, 2015, headed by Dmitry Piskaryov. The Russian format of presence is defined as a “branch of a foreign legal entity,” and the foreign entity was listed as the Ukrainian LLC “NETPIK” (code 37184690).
The data is confirmed by the official FTS register of the Russian Federation and open FTS data. This is very important in the context of what happened next.
Separately, a record was found of another legal entity, LLC “KONSALT PROFESHINAL” (INN 7717793878). Analysis of Russian registers revealed a telling detail: on April 21, 2022 — two months after the start of the full-scale invasion — the company changed its name from LLC “NETPIK” to the current one.
Rebranding or an attempt to mask the probable Ukrainian origin of the business to maintain presence in the aggressor’s market?
This legal entity was liquidated only on January 30, 2023 — almost a year after Netpeak Group’s statement about ceasing work with the Russian Federation. The data is confirmed by the company’s cards on RBC Companies and in the SPARK-Interfax database.
According to financial data from open registers of the FTS of the Russian Federation, summarized on reputation.ru and list-org.com, this company grew its revenue from 413 thousand rubles to more than 109 million rubles in 2014–2021, and the total net profit for the reporting period exceeded 32.8 million rubles. At least 23.127 million rubles in taxes and mandatory payments were paid by the company to the Russian budget for 2017–2022, of which 9,054 rubles were paid in 2022, already during the full-scale invasion (2022 data from the archived FTS open data package open data).
The amount is not that large by IT industry standards, but the very fact remains: a company linked to a Ukrainian entrepreneur continued to exist and be listed as a taxpayer to the aggressor country’s budget for almost a year after the start of its full-scale aggression against Ukraine.
Notably, according to the Russian resource ALLSEO, the general director of the company with the website Netpeaik.Ru remained the group’s founder, Artem Borodatyuk, for a long time.
Trace №2: Ringostat and its Russian “double”
The most sensitive discovery concerns the Ringostat product — a call tracking and end-to-end analytics service that Netpeak/FRACTAL publicly positions as its own Ukrainian development.
After all, if “Netpeak”, judging by the indicators, was probably being prepared for closure, then another project of the group — the Ringostat call tracking service — on the contrary, demonstrated financial growth. Its activities in the Russian Federation, according to the Fractal website, were provided by the company LLC “Performance Profi”, later renamed LLC “CONSALT PLUS” (TIN 7708393658).
According to the List-Org website, the historical founder of the Russian LLC “Consult Plus” (formerly “Performance Profi”) from 28.01.2021 to 22.03.2023 was Dmitry Piskaryov — the same person who previously headed the Russian branch of “Netpeak”.
The product with the details of this Russian company (TIN 7708393658) was historically hosted on the ringostat.com website, as can be seen from the archived copy of the Netpeak.ru contacts page and the profile on fractal.partners.
This Russian legal entity continued its financial activities even after 2022. According to the official registers of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation (2022, 2023, 2024), the company transferred at least 5.07 million rubles to the budget and funds of the Russian Federation in 2022, and in total for 2021–2025 — at least 9.718 million rubles.
The revenue and details data also match the company’s card on B2B.house: the company’s legal address until December 2023 was the same Ulansky Lane in Moscow, which appears in the descriptions of the Ringostat project on specialized Russian sites eto-razvod.ru and resize-web.ru. This company was liquidated only on 14.05.2025.
Such amounts are difficult to write off as “frozen accounts.” This is a probable sign of large-scale commercial activity in the very heart of the aggressor country. Moreover, one of the group’s key top managers, Dmitry Piskaryov, remained the official founder of “Consult Plus” with a 100% stake until March 22, 2023. This contradicts public statements about a complete severance of ties with the Russian Federation in February-March 2022.
Additional analysis of the connections of LLC “CONSALT PLUS” shows that around this legal entity there are related Russian companies with typical risk indicators: probably the companies were created to legalize funds, have a short-term period of activity, are liquidated or excluded from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities due to unreliable information, have a minimal number of employees, self-ownership of shares, frequent changes of participants and a combination of incompatible OKVEDs. This contour includes IT/software companies (AGILE, ONLINE DEALER), companies trading in computer/electronic equipment (MAGNETIC, ALTEK) and companies in the field of video surveillance/security systems (VIDEoglAZ CENTER).
And accordingly, we assume that the activities of all these companies could also have filled the budget of the Russian Federation.
Trace №4: 29.3% of Ringostat sites — from Russia, as of 2026
StopCor analysts also checked a purely technical trace — regardless of any corporate documents. According to the international website technology analysis service BuiltWith, as of 2026, Ringostat is used by 1701 “live” sites, and 498 of them are classified by BuiltWith as Russian — this is about 29.3% of the entire database, the second largest market for Ringostat after Ukraine. Almost every third site with the Ringostat script is Russian.
This is also confirmed by a technical trace: connection codes to script.ringostat.com were found, in particular, on the sites sharlot.ru, expertproperty.ru and omnicomm.pro. In addition, the product has working integrations with CRM systems that are most popular on the Russian and CIS markets — Bitrix24 and amoCRM/Kommo, which is described in detail in the service’s own knowledge base: integration with Bitrix24 and integration with amoCRM.
It is noteworthy that in 2024, Ringostat itself publicly called on Ukrainian clients on its website to abandon these very CRMs as “Russian or disguised as neutral” — that is, the product is technically configured to work with the same market that the company publicly warns others against.
Cypriot contour: who could have benefited?
The corporate structure of Artem Borodatyuk’s businesses is branched and, according to YouControl, includes legal entities in Ukraine, Cyprus, Estonia, Poland, Great Britain and Kazakhstan.
Particular attention should be paid to the Cypriot AB Digital Horizon Syndicate Limited (registration number HE 451879) — according to the Cyprus Companies Registry, its director is Anna Rossidou, and its secretary is Pantelis Vorkas.
The law firm Michael Vorkas & Partners, with which the company’s secretary is associated, publicly lists among its areas of practice work with Russian corporations and wealthy Russians (Russian HNWI).
Anna Rossidou, meanwhile, appears as a nominee director in hundreds of companies in both the Ukrainian and Russian markets — this is a common Cypriot service model that in itself is not a crime, but can create an opaque picture of the real beneficiaries.
What does this mean from a legal point of view?
The identified set of circumstances: historical presence in the Russian Federation, late liquidation of related Russian legal entities, continuation of tax payments to the aggressor’s budget after 24.02.2022, and the still active technical presence of the product on the Russian market — requires qualified legal assessment.
If it is confirmed that structures from Artem Borodatyuk’s orbit after February 22, 2022, actually continued to do business in Russia and fill its budget with taxes, such actions may have signs of serious crimes against the foundations of Ukraine’s national security:
Art. 111-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (Assistance to the aggressor state) — through supporting the economic potential of the Russian Federation;
Art. 110-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (Financing actions committed with the aim of changing the borders of the territory of Ukraine);
Art. 258-5 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (Financing of terrorism) — since taxes are paid to the budget of a state recognized as a sponsor of terrorism;
Art. 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (Legalization of proceeds from crime) — through the use of complex offshore schemes.
We emphasize: this is only a preliminary assessment by the editorial board based on the facts identified by our analysts, and not a suspicion or accusation — only competent law enforcement and control authorities can assert the presence or absence of a crime, and even more so the guilt of specific individuals, based on the results of an investigation into the identified facts.
