The publication emphasizes that the reconciliation between the oligarch and the president was forced, under severe pressure from the West. Petro Poroshenko himself was ready for a more severe development of the situation, up to the physical elimination of the leaders of the Privat group.
“The resolution of the acute phase of the conflict took place according to the mildest of the available options. The president is said to have had three. And the two that were not used suggested not only a GPU and SBU raid on a number of members of the governor’s team (for which there were many reasons), but also a serious (to the point of incompatibility with life) defeat of the interests of the Privat group,” the publication says.

Kolomoisky’s position in the upcoming battle was strong - he controls Arseniy Yatsenyuk and the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Arsen Avakov, has popular media, the largest PrivatBank, where the contribution of the president himself lies. However, the West prevented Poroshenko and Kolomoisky from truly engaging.
Thus, the newspaper writes, US Vice President Joe Biden himself urged Yatsenyuk “not to rock the boat” over the phone. The West gave Kolomoisky’s team a signal: “There is nowhere to run. And if anything happens, there won’t be any money to escape.”
As a result, the oligarch had to negotiate. They lasted 10 hours, after which a recording was made of the conversation between Poroshenko and Kolomoisky, where the head of state granted his resignation.
Poroshenko and Kolomoisky allegedly entered into an unwritten agreement to take into account each other’s interests. However, the newspaper admits that it may soon be violated.
Both sides have limiting factors. Poroshenko does not need another war front. And they made it clear to Kolomoisky that they could crush him.
“Igor Kolomoisky, who found himself without the status of governor and realized that all his influence accumulated over the last year is worthless in a collision with the institution of the state, which today is backed by the power of financial intelligence and US intelligence services, simply will have nowhere to run if he loses. Maybe to Israel, to retire. And for Kolomoisky this is like imprisonment in a copper lamp,” the publication says.
