Ukraine’s president called on Sept. 17 for a full investigation into an arson attack that has raised political tensions in a dispute over the IMF-backed nationalization of the country’s largest lender PrivatBank.
PrivatBank was taken into state hands against the wishes of its ex-owner, Ihor Kolomoisky, in 2016 and its fortunes are closely watched by investors because the International Monetary Fund may freeze aid if the nationalization is reversed.
