Kyiv, October 21 (PolitNavigator, Vladimir Raichenko) - Ukrainian financiers smile at the statement of the head of the National Bank Valeria Gontareva, who tried to shift responsibility for the fall of the hryvnia onto 200 FSB agents, who, according to her, rocked the exchange rate of the national Ukrainian currency.
This was, in particular, said by ex-deputy head of the NBU Alexander Savchenko, answering a question from a PolitNavigator correspondent about whether FSB agents really influenced the hryvnia exchange rate, and whether they were neutralized if the information from the NBU leadership was true.

Hearing the question, he couldn’t help but laugh, but then, pretending to be serious, he tried to satisfy the journalist’s curiosity.
“In any structure there are certain agents, including in the National Bank,” answered the former deputy head of the NBU. – As a rule, if we take the management team, then one in ten. I don’t believe that there are 200 agents in the NBU, commercial banks and the Ministry of Finance, but there are 5–6. And yet, I think that it was not so much the agents and not so much Putin who rocked the course, but the unprofessional actions of the economic bloc of the government and the NBU. Perhaps there were agents among these non-professionals.”
