He emphasized that "Forests of Ukraine" is the only state enterprise created as part of the reform of the forest industry.

Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that in Lviv region, the management of the branch of the state-owned enterprise "Forests of Ukraine" organized an underground data center for mining cryptocurrencies in the office premises of "Rava-Rus Forestry". In more than a year, the perpetrators earned at least 4 million hryvnias, and the losses from their activities amounted to more than 1.5 million hryvnias.

As EcoPolitic previously reported, the State Forest Resources Agency stated that the scandalous interim report of the Temporary Investigative Commission "National Resource" contains baseless accusations, unconfirmed facts and unreliable data.
