Apparent Affiliate of Danish Company Helps Russians Export Grain From Occupied Ukraine

The report examines the murky ownership and operational links between Danish firm Baltic Control and Russian entities named Baltic Control Novorossiysk, highlighting discrepancies between Danish reports and Russian corporate records. Reporter calls indicate the Novorossiysk office—associated with Alexander Shalimov—was treated as a branch and engaged in grain-related services connected to Berdiansk, despite subsequent denials. The piece also notes a separate identically named company in Yeysk with historical co-ownership ties to Baltic Control’s founder, and includes a clarification on the founder’s 2017 departure.
