Presidential Office: No reason to return PrivatBank to its former shareholders

Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Bohdan and his deputies Andriy Smirnov and Yulia Kovaliv held a meeting with G7 Ambassadors to Ukraine.

“Pursuant to the instructions of the President, Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Bohdan and his deputies Andriy Smirnov and Yulia Kovaliv held a meeting with Ambassadors of the G7 countries,” the press service of the Head of State reports.

As noted, the interlocutors discussed the priorities of economic reforms, cooperation with international partners, international financial organizations and judicial reform in Ukraine.

“The Ukrainian party informed of the priorities and further steps on initiatives aimed at economic growth and improvement of the investment climate. It also informed that the draft laws on illicit enrichment and unbundling of Naftogaz of Ukraine (separation of fuel transportation activities) would be considered next week,” the press service reports.

Particular attention was paid to the negotiation process with the International Monetary Fund, the reform of the banking sector and the repayment of funds of bankrupt banks.

“Having made a decision on nationalization, the state invested UAH 155.3 billion in PrivatBank, which allowed to save the funds of Ukrainians. We believe that regardless of the decisions of the courts, there is no reason to return the state-owned PrivatBank to its former shareholders,” the statement reads.

    • No thanks. Freedom of speech has no rules. If it has, it is no longer freedom of speech but censorship.

      Have a nice day, comrade! 😉

    • Thank you but we are trying to focus on news from Ukraine. On the other hand, I am sure you will find much here related to human rights especially about the spread of fascism from the Kremlin.

        • Wrong. You may falsely conclude something because of my reply to you. You can check all my articles and you will not find one that is in favor of the Kremlin. The same counts for my comments. I was running a site in favor of Ukraine for more than three years until it was forcefully shut down two months ago. Don’t judge people you don’t know.

          Живела Црна Гора! Glory to Ukraine!

          • In that case I apologise.
            The reason I perhaps misinterpreted your response is because of your comment on my article on freedom of speech, which I assume you haven’t read. It deals with two major concepts of freedom of speech – European and American, and it doesn’t suggest that any of the two is correct. It only raises question whether unlimited freedom of speech (which is the concept I personally prefer) is more desirable than the European system of numerous restrictions.

            Wish you all the best!

            Živjela lična sloboda i ljudska prava!

            • Ah. I got it. I prefer the US system for sure. Sorry that i misunderstood you as well. There were some croats mocking me in the past, doubting my credibility, since Serbia is (mostly) pro-Kremlin.

              Anyway, welcome to our site, bro!

              Živelo bratstvo i jedinstvo! 😉

    • Thank you for your offer Bojan. There are many of us here that have been fighting for human rights in Ukraine since Maidan. Human rights brings together all freedom-loving people and the more the merrier. I would be happy to make you an Author here but just ask that you try to keep it related to Ukraine’s struggle against Russian fascism. Slava Ukraini~~!!

  1. I will do my best to contribute to your goal with articles on Ukraine struggle for freedom. Also, feel free to assign me with a certain topic whenever that suits you!
    All the best!

    • I am not sure you received my invitation Bojan. The way your name is spelled the WordPress editor wanted to separate them. If you follow this blog your name will come up on the list.
