Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says that businessman Ihor Kolomoisky and MP (Opposition Platform – For Life faction) Viktor Medvedchuk no longer have the influence they had before, as Interfax-Ukraine reported.

“We understand the situation with Medvedchuk now, as well as the situation with Kolomoisky. We understand perfectly well: they no longer have the influence that they had,” Zelensky said at a press conference in Kyiv on Thursday.

In addition, the president said that the draft law on de-oligarchization will prohibit officials, including the president, from meeting with large businessmen. At the same time, he noted that if there is such a need, then such a meeting should be held publicly, and a report should be issued on its results.
