The attacks by Igor Kolomoisky's group against Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko's team were expected, according to Volodymyr Ariev, a member of parliament from the Petro Poroshenko Bloc faction.
"I've never had rose-colored glasses when it comes to Kolomoisky. This man, first and foremost, protects his own interests, and the effective defense of part of the eastern regions was solely due to his unwillingness to hand over his assets to Putin. Everything Kolomoisky does is purely pragmatic," the MP believes, according to ForUm.
According to Ariev, Kolomoisky currently needs a contribution.
"This is the creation of their own belt – a 'Novokolomoisky region' in place of Novorossiya from Kharkiv to Odessa, plus positions in the government that would allow them to strengthen the PRIVAT group, which is in a very poor financial situation, one might say on the verge of bankruptcy," he explained.
"Kolomoisky has always been accustomed to using blackmail and pressure, based on his people's attitude toward Poroshenko. What Kolomoisky is doing today will not create normal relations in Ukrainian politics. Anyone who pursues their own interests in such circumstances always loses. Every hero deserves gratitude, until they become a pain in the neck," Ariev concluded.
