A Russian trace is likely to undermine Head of the Ukrainian central bank Andriy Pyshnyy's future

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:22:46 GMT

EU Reporter already published an investigation about the new head of the Ukrainian National Bank, where we quoted famous Ukrainian journalist Serhyi Lyamets. After the publication, S.Lyamets submitted to us his separate article about suspicions of some banking malpractices, which are important as we talk about the head of the central bank and the family of Ukrainian businessmen strongly associated with former Russian president Medvedev.
