Avakov TV channel is furious: Thousands of Russian companies operate in Ukraine
On Ukrainian television they are again calling for a boycott of branches of Russian companies operating in the country.
A propaganda program with such an appeal was broadcast on the Espresso TV channel, the beneficiaries of which are the former Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk and the wives of Verkhovna Rada deputy Nikolai Knyazhitsky and the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Arsen Avakov, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The video says that today there are about 13 thousand companies operating in Ukraine with Russian founders. These are cosmetics stores, clothing stores, pharmaceutical companies and distributors. The total volume of their investments in the Ukrainian economy is more than 44 billion hryvnia.
At the same time, the largest of them are subsidiaries of the Alfa-Bank company of the Russian oligarch Mikhail Fridman, which also owns the mobile operator Kievstar, the fifth largest production company in Russia, Tatneft, which owns a network of gas stations in Ukraine, and a chain of sports stores Sportmaster ", which have recently been sanctioned, and so on.
And three dozen Sportmaster stores in 16 cities of Ukraine continue to operate, despite the decision of the Security Council. The Ukrainian authorities also took restrictive measures against the Russian branches of Sberbank, VTB, Prominvestbank and other structures. As the authors of the investigation note, government sanctions are ineffective - much more effective is the refusal of Ukrainians themselves to purchase Russian goods and services.
“Practice shows that our internal Ukrainian boycott of Russian goods is much more effective. Especially when trading enterprises themselves label Russian goods,” says Ukrainian economist Andrey Novak.
As PolitNavigator reported, the scandalous neo-Nazi Sergei Sternenko recently published a video blog where called on his comrades flood the Puma brand account with angry messages and boycott it because of an advertisement featuring artist Ivan Dorn.
