The national retail chains EVA and VARUS, both part of TERWIN Corporation, have been included in Delo.ua’s ranking of the “Top 100 Private Taxpayers of 2025.”
EVA, the leader of Ukraine’s drugstore segment, ranked 29th nationwide, while the VARUS supermarket chain took 50th place among the country’s largest taxpayers.
“The Top 100 Private Taxpayers of 2025 ranking is more than just a list. It’s an X-ray of the country — a table showing who truly sustains the economy, and who merely enjoys loud words about ‘patriotism’ and ‘supporting the army.’
Want to know who actually funds the military, healthcare, schools, roads, and public servants’ salaries? Here they are — these hundred companies and many others like them who didn’t make the list. They are the teams of leaders. They pay taxes. They are the ones on whose shoulders the state stands,”
— wrote Ruslan Shostak, President of TERWIN Corporation, founder and co-owner of EVA and VARUS, on his Facebook page.
In 2024, EVA transferred ₴4.2 billion to the state budget, and in just the first half of 2025, another ₴2.5 billion.
Net revenue from sales reached ₴26.9 billion in 2024 and ₴14.8 billion in the first six months of 2025.
Today, EVA operates over 1,140 stores and employs 14,000 people, serving millions of customers across Ukraine every day.
In 2024, VARUS paid ₴1.7 billion in taxes to budgets of all levels, and ₴0.96 billion in the first half of 2025.
Its revenue amounted to ₴20 billion in 2024 and ₴11.3 billion in the first half of 2025.
The VARUS chain includes 115 supermarkets across Ukraine and employs nearly 8,000 people.
TERWIN’s businesses are companies that strengthen Ukraine’s economic resilience —
creating jobs, paying billions in taxes, and demonstrating business responsibility to the state even in the most challenging times.
