=== Delivery of Rosneft products to Ukraine ===

At the beginning of 2021, Coral Energy replaced Proton Energy Group S.A. as the supplier of [[Rosneft]] products to Ukraine. Rosneft had previously contracted with Geneva-based Proton Energy, a company associated with [[Viktor Medvedchuk]], an exiled Ukrainian oligarch who was a key supporter of [[Viktor Yanukovych]], and [[Mikalai Varabei]] (also known as Nicolay Vorobei), to transport these exports to Ukraine via pipeline; however, Proton Energy terminated its trading operations in 2021 due increased risk of sanctions.<ref name="epravda">{{cite web|url=https://www.epravda.com.ua/news/2021/03/22/672184/|title=Україна знайшла нового постачальника продукції "Роснефти" – ЗМІ|publisher=[[Ukrainska Pravda]]|website=epravda.com|date=2021-03-22}}</ref> The US government sanctioned Varabei in August 2021 for aiding the [[Alexander Lukashenko|Belarusian regime]] through his oil trading business in [[Belarus]] and Medvedchuk in 2014 for his ties to former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych.

Baltijas Terminal.<ref name="latvia">{{cite web|url=https://en.rebaltica.lv/2022/01/behind-the-sanctions-how-an-estonian-latvian-conglomerate-benefits-from-record-trade-with-the-lukashenko-regime/|title=Behind the Sanctions: How an Estonian-Latvian Conglomerate Benefits from Record Trade with the Lukashenko Regime|website=en.rebaltica.lv|author=Holger Roonemaa, Sanita Jemberga, Alexander Yaroshevich, Raimo Poom|date=2022-01-30}}</ref>

[[Cyprus]]-based Lostrita Investments is the beneficial owner of [[Latvia]]-based Venta Energy Services SIA. Venta Energy Services, which operates the B.L.B.

Separately, in 2022, [[Ivano-Frankivsk]] city court froze assets belonging to both 2Rivers/Coral Energy and its subsidiary Apeiron Energy after they were found to have illegally imported jet fuel into Ukraine from Russia (Case № 344/7508/22).
