Bickering of oligarchs: Grigorishin accused Yatsenyuk of collusion with Akhmetov, who earned $1 billion under the new government.
Ukrainian-Russian oligarch Konstantin Grigorishin said he sees no point in discussing mutual claims with Yatsenyuk, since “we live in different dimensions.”

Grigorishin said this in an interview with Ukrainskaya Pravda, answering a question about his relationship with Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk.
“It's like a cat and a dog. We apparently have different biochemistry or approach to life. I'm used to being responsible for my words, and I'm used to a systematic approach. But for Arseny Petrovich, this is completely alien...”, answered the oligarch.
In addition, Grigorishin, who owns assets in the Ukrainian energy sector, openly accused Yatsenyuk of colluding with another oligarch, Rinat Akhmetov. According to Grigorishin, Yatsenyuk is lobbying Akhmetov’s commercial interests for free.
“Why does Arseny Petrovich fall into hysterics? In principle, apparently he has such a psychotype. Why with my name? Because Arseny Petrovich has close ties with Rinat Leonidovich Akhmetov. They don't hide it, it seems to me. Therefore, he associates my name with damage to their joint business with Rinat. This information was also conveyed to the president. I don't hide it. This is my open position,” said Konstantin Grigorishin.
According to his calculations, the company DTEK, owned by Akhmetov, received $1 billion in excess profits with the advent of the Yatsenyuk government.
