You're reading: Klitschko: Big Ukrainian business has no desire to live as if on edge of volcano

Big business in Ukraine requires clear rules of the game, UDAR Party leader Vitali Klitschko has said.

“Talking to the representatives of the big business, I know that they
arrive at one conclusion: we want clear, declared rules of the game
that won’t change. This is the desire of big business,” he said in an
interview with Interfax-Ukraine.

He said big business “is not delighted” with the current situation in Ukraine.

However, the politician said that each of the big players in
Ukrainian business had had “his golden years” mentioning Ihor
Kolomoisky, Victor Pinchuk, Kostiantyn Zhevaho, Serhiy Taruta, Dmytro
Firtash, and Rinat Akhmetov.

“Living in the country without a stable political situation, as if on
the edge of a volcano, none of the representatives of the big business –
even despite the fact that some of them today could be at the peak of
their wealth and could use the situation to the maximum effect for their
business – none can guarantee that the political situation in Ukraine
won’t change soon, and their assets could not just fall, but could even
be lost. And each of them realizes this,” the UDAR leader said.
