Ukrainian President, Petro Poroshenko, dismissed the night Igor Kolomoïski, governor of Dnipropetrovsk, a key region of the country, bordering the breakaway regions. Kolomoïski is also one of the leading Ukrainian oligarchs: his fortune is estimated at 1.8 billion. It is at the center of a political deal and trading in influence since gunmen unidentified invested the headquarters of the oil company Ukrnafta the night of 22 March. A grid was laid to bar access. The action was taken after the vote by the Ukrainian parliament a law on joint venture companies held by the state and by private shareholders.
The Ukrainian state, which owns 50% plus one share in Ukrnafta, can now receive dividends from the company, until now blocked by the other actionaire, which is nothing Igor Kolomoïski, up to 42% .
Until now, you had a 60% quorum to convene the general meeting of shareholders; the new law amounts to 50%.
According to Minister of Energy and Coal, Volodymyr Demchysyn, action "punch" of the headquarters of Ukrnafta was conducted in response to the new legislation:
"The slightest change in the management of such a business means that someone loses control. And if that person were used to make profits, to administer great resources, so of course, I understand that she wants to fight to prevent someone else to arrive and take control. "
Igor Kolomoïski is one of the oligarchs who control entire sectors of the economy, including energy, banking, media, aviation and metallurgy. Until the change of the law, it is one of his protégés who administered Ukrnafta.
Igor Kolomoïski:
"These are stories. It is fabricated by communication experts - the story of a Mr. Kolomoïski furious and parliamentary Gentiles who regained control of an oil company, thus satisfying the demands of Maidan protesters. In fact, Ukrnafta has never been under the control of the State with private shareholders. Look at what happened, it was a promotional event! It was just done to raise the popularity of political parties that supported this law! People who came to the company headquarters are a private security company, they came to reinforce the guard for fear of a raid of private shareholders. "
Igor Kolomoïski was a valuable ally in Kiev because it funded the volunteer battalions against the advance of pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine. It is to him that Poroshenko is having been able to keep control of the Dnipropetrovsk region.
