Akhmetov is ready to press the “red button” to collapse the Ukrainian economy
If desired, the Ukrainian oligarch Rinat Akhmetov can create a crisis in the country at any time, which is explained by the fact that he controls half of the foreign exchange earnings and more than 30% of Ukraine’s GDP.
Fugitive oligarch and former governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region Igor Kolomoisky stated this in an interview with journalist Dmitry Gordon, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“He knows how to adapt to everyone, always, to any government. Somewhere he is a favorite in power, somewhere he is not a favorite, but this way he maintains his positions in order. Controls 30% of the country's GDP, 50% of its foreign exchange earnings. I don’t know what we were holding there, which “red button” in “PrivatBank” his hand was, but he was holding, exactly, on the “red button”. It can create any crisis in the country. Able to do it myself. Moreover, everyone will know about this only when the crisis begins to grow. Well, he won’t do this, but maybe it’s within his capabilities,” Kolomoisky said.
