Honcharuk Discusses Business With Ukrainian Oligarchs, Including Wanted Zhevago

They discussed ways to grow the Ukrainian economy with the help of oligarchs.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Oleksiy Honcharuk met with Ukrainian oligarchs to discuss ways to grow the Ukrainian economy through the oligarchs. He told RBC-Ukraine about this in an interview.

According to Honcharuk, businessmen must do everything possible so that the country can change for the better. In turn, this will positively affect their assets. During the meeting with the oligarchs, the issue of defending anyone's interests was not raised.

All major players, in my opinion, must do everything within their power so that the country starts to grow, because this will only increase their assets. I have never had the feeling that someone is trying to 'palm off' on me a person who is a 'watchman' or represents somebody's interests.

Among the Ukrainian oligarchs who attended the meeting were Rinat Akhmetov, Viktor Pinchuk, Ihor Kolomoisky, Konstantin Zhevago and Yuriy Kosiuk.

In October, former MP Konstantin Zhevago was declared wanted. The Ukrainian billionaire is a suspect in the embezzlement of UAH 2.5 billion from Finance and Credit Bank.  

A few days ago, Konstantin Zhevago was declared internationally wanted. At the same time, the judge granted the prosecutor's motion to place the suspect in custody. The court also issued a permit to detain the suspect Zhevago.
