“All, with the exception of Kolomoisky, the first-party oligarchs have business in Crimea. And these people are in power. Starting with Mr. Kosyuk, who was the first deputy head of the Presidential Administration, who has a huge agricultural business there, he supplies products to Russia. The people who work in his factories make the packaging completely for transportation to the Russian Federation. This includes Mr. Firtash, whose business continues to operate, despite the fact that the railway connection with Crimea was interrupted. Akhmetov continues to operate a terminal in Sevastopol, Zhvania produces cement, which is sold there,” Samar said.
