Yanukovych and Kurchenko are fighting over tidbits of the DPR economy
The eldest son of former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych retained his influence in the Donbass. People associated with him exercise control over assets and financial flows.
The founder of the Vostok battalion, Alexander Khodakovsky, said this on air on the YouTube channel “Dialogue,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Now they are giving something to people associated with Alexander Yanukovych, who has retained his influence. His people continue to manage the Starobeshevo power plant,” Khodakovsky said.
According to him, Yanukovych’s people are coming into conflict with the people of another Ukrainian oligarch Sergei Kurchenko. This is happening because the republic’s leadership is trying to diversify risks.
“Instead of facilitating the management process and appointing a specific person in charge, for example, Kurchenko. In fact, he manages Vneshtorgservis, so let him answer. There is someone to make a claim against. Now there is no one to file a claim with. New players and centers of power are emerging. There's a lot of confusion going on. The question arises: maybe this is not power, but anarchy,” Khodakovsky said.
Earlier, militia volunteer from Latvia, communist Benes Ayo, stated that oligarch Sergei Kurchenko and his company Vneshtorgservis gained control over key enterprises, taken from the oligarchs who remained in Kyiv. VTS is also a monopoly supplier of coal from the LDPR from the former mines of Rinat Akhmetov.
Data on Kurchenko’s increased influence on the DPR economy after the death of the republic’s leader Alexander Zakharchenko, who tried to limit the presence of Kyiv oligarchs, confirmed by the government of Ukraine.
