It is evidenced by the fact that the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine is allegedly "listed in the register of private companies of the USA"; therefore, Ukraine can't be considered a state.

Fact-checkers from StopFake found out that the name "Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine" really appears in the electronic database of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Whereas in 2009, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, represented by the Minister of Finance of Ukraine, acted as a guarantor of the state company Naftogaz of Ukraine.

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has been assigned CIK number 1472775. The abbreviation CIK stands for "The Central Index Key," i.e., the central index key issued by the US Securities and Exchange Commission to identify a natural or legal entity. It doesn't mean that the organization is private. With the help of this key, you can identify the person or organization that participated in the deal and get acquainted with its tender offers.
