“In contrast to the state policy of making Crimea heavier, unfortunately, today our national networks, Ukrainian ones, operate in Crimea under various partial name changes.
With the same infrastructure, with the same marketing, such large national networks as “Epicenter” operate under the name “Novacenter K”, like “New Line”, such as “PUD” - this is “ATB”, the name has been changed, OKKO gas stations - There are quite a lot of such stations on the mainland of Ukraine; their beneficiary is a citizen from Lvov. And so on, this list is sufficient: “Silpo”, “Fozzy” operate in Crimea.
We have collected relevant information and analysis on this matter and will react harshly by introducing sanctions. I would urge national operators not to go against government policy. This is our territory, this is a priority.
They earn money - earn it on the mainland of Ukraine. In contrast, there is only one store that operates in Crimea. It needs to be closed and not assist the occupier,” Gdanov said.
Kyiv has demanded that Ukrainian businesses cease operations in Russian Crimea.
