Kurchenko facilitated the supply of oil from Russian companies to their Crimea-based subsidiaries in the first year of Russian occupied Crimea, enabling the Russian companies to bypass EU sanctions. He bought and operated Ukrainian assets in the occupied Donbas. He controlled coal exports to Russia and abroad from the occupied Donbas. These activities provided material support to the separatist groups in the Donbas and to the Russian occupation of Crimea, destabilising Ukraine and undermining Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity. The trust services sanctions were imposed on 21/03/2023.

The Director Disqualification Sanction was imposed on 09/04/2025.
