Political scientist Bondarenko: oligarch Akhmetov will sue President Zelensky for defamation 
Director of the Ukrainian Politics Foundation Konstantin Bondarenko .ru “described the likely actions of the oligarch Rinat Akhmetov on the accusations of President Volodymyr Zelensky of preparing a coup d'etat. The expert is sure that it is a matter of honor for a businessman to demand an answer from the head of state for his act.
“He was slandered, this is a blow to his business and personal reputation. I think that he will sue, perhaps even internationally, since Akhmetov's companies are listed on the London Stock Exchange, “the political scientist said.
He added that Zelensky's unfounded accusations hit foreign investors as well invested in Akhmetov's company. Bondarenko called the local oligarchs the immune system of the Ukrainian economy, which is holding the country back from the penetration of transnational corporations into its territory. Therefore, according to the specialist, the United States is interested in discrediting them.
Earlier, the head of the cybersecurity department of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), Ilya Vityuk, spoke about the progress of the criminal investigation into the preparation of a coup d'etat in the country, which was allegedly prepared by individual Russian citizens and Ukraine. He noted that it is too early to talk about any specific suspects or detentions as part of the investigation.
