Biography

Ananchenko was born in 2 February 1966[3] in Selydove, Donetsk, Ukraine. He has Ukrainian citizenship and a higher education. He was director of the branch of a company belonging to the oligarch Serhiy Kurchenko in the town of Krivets (Kursk Oblast, Russia),[4] as well as his advisor.[5] Since 2013, he lived in eastern Ukraine, where in 2014 he collaborated with Russian forces that invaded the Donbas region. On September 7, 2018, the acting Head of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) terrorist organization, Denis Pushilin, appointed him deputy prime minister.[6][7]

In April 2022, in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ananchenko was added to the European Union sanctions list "in response to the ongoing unjustified and unprovoked Russian military aggression against Ukraine and other actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine".[8] On 8 June 2022 he resigned, leading to the dismissal of the DPR government.[9]
