Former head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Avakov: Zelensky's words about the coup brought down the shares of companies with the participation of businessman Rinat Akhmetov led to a fall in the shares of all Ukrainian companies. This statement was made by the former head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Arsen Avakov on the air of the Freedom of Speech talk show, which is broadcast on the Shuster online Youtube channel.
At the same time, he stressed that not only DTEK suffered losses ( Donbass Fuel and Energy Company), owned by Akhmetov, but also all Ukrainian companies. The ex-minister said that Zelensky's press conference damaged the image of Ukraine, as a result of which the country “lost billions in two hours.”
“We have a problem in the energy sector – we are walking on a thin line. We have financial problems. And at the same time, the president on the air allows himself to attack big business. Not many of you understand, but at that moment, in two hours, the shares of all Ukrainian companies on the London Stock Exchange fell very seriously. During these two hours Ukraine has lost billions in the economy, “Avakov said.
Earlier, Zelensky said that he had received information about the planned coup d'etat in Ukraine on December 1. According to the head of state, he was informed that Akhmetov was involved in the upcoming coup and billions of dollars were allocated for this.
Akhmetov himself called the president's words an absolute lie and stressed that he had always strived to work for the benefit of an independent, democratic and whole Ukraine with Crimea and Donbass as part.
