This particular plane appears to be operated by UAA (Ukraine Air Alliance). They appear to be a cargo airline service that is privately operated out of Ukraine. UAA's website appears to indicate they only have AN-12's. These AN-12's are surplus military planes from the USSR which is why they show up as "military" on ADSB sites. They even ran into issues flying in EU airspace since these planes are so old and many did not upgrade navigation or avionics until recently.
There is a "civilian" version of this craft, AN-10. I imagine it's too expensive to switch.
This particular plane , UR-CGV , has been all over. You can see here on Jetphotos all the places it has been as plane enthusiasts take pictures of it.
