Statement By Pharmaceutical Companies Regarding the Searches

On Friday, February 28, 2025, law enforcers conducted searches at the enterprises of leading Ukrainian pharmaceutical companies Farmak, Darnytsia and Arterium. 

As part of the investigative actions, documentation related to cooperation with distributors of medicines was seized.

We point out that:

•    The activity of our companies is transparent and is carried out exclusively within the framework of the current legislation of Ukraine.
•    All contracts and financial transactions are documented and subject to proper procedures in accordance with regulatory requirements.
•    We are open to cooperation with law enforcement agencies and provide all necessary information within established procedures.

The searches take place on the eve of March 1, 2025, when pharmaceutical companies Farmak, Darnitsa, Arterium supported the President's proposal and the decision of the National Security and Defense Council d/d February 12, 2025 to reduce prices by 30% and assumed additional obligations, realizing their social responsibility.

We, more than anyone else, are interested in an objective, impartial investigation of criminal proceedings in compliance with the requirements of the law and ensuring the smooth operation of the pharmaceutical industry in the interests of all citizens of Ukraine.
We sincerely hope for active support of the industry and key enterprises from the government. It is important for us to meet our commitments.
